About the Student Life Center

This vibrant hub for student activities and support was brought to life through an $11.4 million project completed in the spring of 2005.

Located near 25th Avenue South and Vanderbilt Place, the Student Life Center is nestled behind the Schulman Center and west of Branscomb Quadrangle, strategically positioned to complement the existing Sarratt Student Center.
