Former Wichita State University students might remember Clinton Hall as a dark and cold building. But a metamorphosis has turned the building into the bright and welcoming Shocker Success Center.

After becoming an official state university, Clinton Hall was the first building to be constructed for Wichita State University. It was first named the Neff Hall Annex in 1970 when it opened, but was later changed to Clinton Hall to honor Mr. and Mrs. R.P. Clinton. Mr. Clinton was a successful geologist and oilman. He and his wife, Eleanor, donated to many scholarships for Wichita State University. Until the opening of Wayne and Kay Woolsey Hall in fall 2022, Clinton Hall housed the Barton School of Business and most of its programs. After the opening, Clinton Hall underwent renovations to become the new Shocker Success Center.
