Locateded at the far west end of campus where Downs Drive curves back towards the east, the M.O. Looney Health, Physical Education and Recreation Building (PE) has periodically undergone updates and renovations since the mid 1970s.

Marvin O. Looney, for whom the building was named, served as president of Missouri Western from 1967 to 1983, seeing Missouri Western through its change from St. Joseph Junior College to St. Joseph College.

This building houses numerous programs, including recreation administration programs, lifetime health activities and physical education courses.
