Tillman Hall is the most famous building on the Clemson University campus. The 3-story brick building with a clock tower is located on a hill overlooking Bowman Field. Tillman Hall is currently the home of the College of Education.

Connected to Tillman Hall is the Tillman Auditorium, a 755-seat auditorium that formerly was a campus chapel named Memorial Chapel. Tillman Auditorium is used primarily for lectures and seminars, small concerts, pageants and dances.

The building was named after Benjamin Tillman, a staunch opponent of civil rights. This has resulted proposals to rename Tillman Hall to its original name, the Main Building, commonly called “Old Main”.
