West Hall, Academic building at Valdosta State University, Georgia, United States.

West Hall is the oldest building at Valdosta State University, completed in 1917 in Spanish-mission style with a distinctive dome. Its 70-foot rotunda holds a bronze medallion with the university seal set into a green marble floor. A three-story annex added at the rear in the 1960s was remodelled during the 1986–1988 restoration to match the original 1910 design.

In 1916 the Georgia legislature appropriated $50,000 for an administration building for the South Georgia State Normal College, and Valdosta added $25,000; it was completed in 1917 as the college's second building. It was named for Senator W. S. West, author of the college's charter and first president of its Board of Trustees, who died in 1914. A three-story annex was added in the 1960s, and a two-year renovation begun in December 1986 restored the 1910 design and Spanish-mission exterior.

The building carries the name of Senator W.S. West, author of the college's charter and first President of the Board of Trustees, honoured after his death in 1914. Today it holds the Departments of English, Political Science, and Modern and Classical Languages, plus the Foreign Language/International Culture Center and the Campus Writing Center.

West Hall stands at the heart of the Valdosta State University campus, with the 70-foot rotunda and its bronze medallion on the green marble floor as the landmark to head for. The building is in active academic use, so visitors should plan around class and office hours. The 1986-88 restoration returned the exterior to its 1910 Spanish-mission design.

The 70-foot rotunda holds a bronze medallion with the university seal, set into a green marble floor; the seal itself depicts the building's dome. The 1986 renovation removed the second- and third-floor sections beneath the dome to restore this space.
