The original campus building, constructed in 1916, may look “old school” but the offices inside are all about your future: Administration, Center for International Education, Health Careers Center, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects as well as the Center for Service-Learning.

The student union offers 170,000 square feet of space for eating, meeting and relaxing. Inside are a wide variety of eateries, Starbucks, University Bookstore, Blugold Card office, Service Center and campus info and, frequently, live music in “The Cabin.”
