Building History

Originally opened in 1956 after a student vote to fund its construction, the Union has undergone several significant renovations. In 1995, students approved an $11.4 million project to renovate and expand the facility, which included the construction of the adjacent Bosco Student Plaza. This plaza is named in honor of Pat Bosco, the former vice president for student life and dean of students. In 2013, students voted to approve a $25 million referendum for further renovations, with construction beginning in the fall of 2015 and completed in the spring of 2017. The Union continues to play a vital role in campus life, hosting thousands of visitors daily and organizing hundreds of social and educational events through the Union Program Council.
