Built in 1974, Eder Hall underwent massive changes during the fall 2000 semester. Not only was the front entrance remodeled, but the entire building was cleared to make way for modernized equipment and design. Among the many changes included in the remodeling was a widening of the main staircase, new walls, windows and doors and many classrooms converted to offices. The building's namesake, Fred Eder, was very important to Missouri Western, having served as president of the Board of Regents after the college became a fully-funded state institution in 1978.
Now the building will house the English, Journalism and Foreign Language Department and The Griffon News and Griffon Yearbook, as well as the Registrar's and Admissions Offices, the Business Office, the Financial Aid Office, the Freshman Year Experience Office, the Non-Traditional Student Center, The Special Needs Office, Career Services, Job Location, and Counseling and Testing.
