St. Scholastica Student Center Construction

Parking availability will change throughout construction. As the project continues, we will provide updated parking information to guide you. We want to ensure you have all the resources you need to navigate the Duluth campus during this time.

Why are we building a student center? Why now?

First conceived in the Master Plan of 2003, a student center is the last of five major projects identified as a need on the Duluth campus. The other projects, now completed, are the Burns Wellness Center, Science Building addition, Somers Hall renovation and the Health Science Center.

Student centers serve as the heartbeat of a campus and enhance the student experience and provide much needed space for engagement, well-being and community building. They represent a space of hospitality where students grow in their personal and intellectual development, and a place that fosters a sense of belonging.

Through our Second Century of Saints campaign, in particular the Believe. Belong. Transform. public phase since July 1, 2021, donors have shown a great deal of support for the project. As a result, the student center will be completed as a gift to the students of the College — 100% of the project cost will be covered without taking on debt.
