Johnstone-Mullen Residence Halls

To the northwest is the Lewis and Clark complex. Built in 1955, this complex was MSU's first permanent quarters for male students and was named in honor of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, leaders of the historic 1804-1806 expedition.

  2. Colter Wing was named after a member of the Lewis and Clark expedition, John Colter
  3. Mullan Wing was named for Captain John Mullan, a member of the expedition that charted a transcontinental railroad route across the US.
  4. Culbertson Wing, now converted to academic and administrative office space, this wing was named for Alexander Culbertson, who came to Montana as a agent for the American Fur Company and was responsible for the building of Fort Benton. This wing also houses the campus Post Office.
  5. The Johnstone Center, an office complex housed in Pryor and Coulter, was named for William A. Johnstone, former VP of Administration.
  6. Langford Residence Hall was built in 1960 and is named for Nathaniel P. Langford, a Montana pioneer and first superintendent of Yellowstone National Park.
