The University Center is the living room of our campus community. As such, the facility serves to
unify all campus constituents; students, faculty, staff and our guests to the university. As the center for
community building, the University Center serves as the nucleus for student programming activity,
self-directed activities, and programs that support the academic activities of the university. The
physical and programmatic environments help to strengthen the overall St. Mary’s community.
