EspañolSTUDENT ACTIVITY CENTER
(Redirected from Student center)
:''For the Sports Complex in Laredo, Texas, see The Student Activity Center.''
:''For the online community see The Student Center.''
A 'student activity center' or 'SAC', is a type of building found on university campuses. In the United States, such a building is more often called a 'student union', 'student commons', or 'student center'. The term "student union" in the USA refers to the building, while internationally, students' union means the student government.
Broadly speaking, the facility is devoted to student recreation and socialization. It may contain lounges, wellness centers, dining facilities or vendors, and entertainment venues. The student activity center is often the center of student affairs and activities and may house the offices of the student government or other student groups. The first student union in America was Houston Hall, at the University of Pennsylvania, which opened January 2, 1896.[1]
Some examples of 'student activity centers' include:
★ Houston Hall (University of Pennsylvania), the oldest student union building in the United States
★ MountainLair student union - West Virginia University
★ Student Union - Oklahoma State University
★ Willard Straight Hall - Cornell University
★ HUB-Robeson Center - Penn State University
★ Michigan Union - University of Michigan
★ Memorial Union - University of Wisconsin-Madison
★ Students' union
