In 1971 it acquired part of the former Perrin Air Force Base, whose buildings became its West Campus. That campus also carries on the grape-breeding legacy of Denison horticulturist T. V. Munson through a memorial vineyard and a viticulture and enology program. The college shortened its name to Grayson College in 2012 and later added a South Campus in Van Alstyne.
