Welcome!

More than 300 people, including student services staff members and their families, toured the Danforth University Center July 31 as part of a “sneak peek” of the new building before its Aug. 11 public opening. Staff members were able to see the “fun room” (above), a second-floor area that includes garage doors that can be raised or lowered, movable furniture, chalkboard walls and high-tech audio-video equipment. The facility features seven restaurants, including the Café and Ibby’s, a bistro with table service. The 116,000-square-foot building also houses lounges, classrooms, meeting rooms and offices for student leaders, student services professional staff and the Career Center. A number of opening-week activities are planned, including special tours and visitor giveaways. For more information, go to duc.wustl.edu.
