After the global tragedy of World War I, alumni of the University of Massachusetts Amherst who had served in the Military arranged a fund to construct a building honoring the sacrifice of their 51 fallen colleagues. The building, located centrally on the university campus next to the Campus Pond, Old Chapel (Amherst, Massachusetts), and W. E. B. Du Bois Library currently serves as the home to the University of Massachusetts Amherst Alumni Association and members of the Campus Development office. A 2009 report recommended addition of Memorial Hall to the state's list of historical places.

Flint Laboratory is an academic building and a former dairy laboratory at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It was the first building of the Ellis Drive "agricultural group", including Stockbridge Hall and an unbuilt hall for agricultural mechanics. At the time of its completion, the laboratory was considered to be "one of the best equipped dairy buildings in the United States" and was described as "a model for the whole country" in one edition of the Works Progress Administration guidebook to Massachusetts. The building was named after Charles L. Flint, the university's fourth president, the first secretary of the state board of agriculture, a lecturer on dairy farming, and a prolific agricultural writer who wrote a well-received textbook on "Milch Cows" in the late 19th century. Today the building has been almost entirely converted to office space for the university's Department of Hospitality and Tourism Management, however the former "dairy bar" has been repurposed as a restaurant known as Fletcher's Café, which is run by students of the hospitality program.

Murray D. Lincoln Campus Center is a high-rise building on the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus, in Amherst, Massachusetts.

The Blue Wall is a former dive bar and current food court at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Opening inside the Murray D. Lincoln Campus Center in the 1970s, the bar made upwards of $600,000 in the late 1970s (over $2,300,000 in 2013 dollars), and went through 1,800 kegs a year. This made it one of the largest beer-consuming establishments in the Northeastern United States. Following the raising of the drinking age to 21 in the United States, the bar experienced a decline in sales, before finally going dry in the 1980s. In the early 2000s, alcohol was again served, although it proved to be unprofitable. In 2014, the dining facility underwent an almost year-long nineteen million dollar renovation, which saw it connect to a nearby restaurant and increase seating capacity by thirty percent. The new combined area totals 42,000 square feet and has space for 900 customers. The campus center also includes several other food and drink options, including the UPub (bar for 21+), the grab and go Marketplace, and People's Organic Coffee.

The Curry Hicks Physical Education Building, better known as the Curry Hicks Cage, is an athletic facility on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Amherst in Amherst. It was built in 1931 as the Physical Education Building by alumnus Clinton Goodwin. It was rededicated in 1941 and named in honor of Curry Hicks, who had been the athletic director at the school since 1911. With a capacity of 4,000, the venue served as the site of indoor athletic contests including men's basketball from its opening until January 1993 when it was replaced by the more modern and much larger Mullins Center. While the basketball team played at the Cage, it was known as one of the loudest buildings in the Northeast. It was the site of the 1992 Atlantic 10 Conference men's basketball tournament championship game, when UMass defeated West Virginia, 97-91. One of the most memorable events in The Cage's history may be the Temple/UMass men's basketball game on February 16, 1992. UMass had never beaten Temple in 21 attempts, but the rivalry had intensified greatly in recent contests. Much of the crowd stormed the court after the final buzzer, as UMass won 67-52.During its final years as the Minutemen's basketball home, home games came to be marketed as "Rage in the Cage". Perhaps appropriately, the final Minutemen home game before the opening of the Mullins Center was against Southwestern Louisiana (now Louisiana)—the "Ragin' Cajuns". However, the Minutemen would play a one-off home game in the Cage in 2010 against Holy Cross.The building is still very much in use today, containing a pool, an indoor track, offices, and the occasional symphony performance. The building's name is memorialized by Curry Hicks Sage, a popular twitter account devoted to chronicling UMass Minutemen basketball.
