In 1940, the Asheville-Biltmore College leased Lawrence Hall, a building on the

campus of Asheville College, formerly known as Asheville Normal and Teachers College.  The site is now occupied by Memorial Mission Hospital. Though classes were scheduled so that the two colleges would not interfere with each other, the

arrangement was unsatisfactory.  In 1942, Asheville-Biltmore College relocated to the former Buncombe County Children’s Home.  The educational building of Grace Covenant Church on Merrimon Avenue now occupies the site.
