Student Unions

The Missouri Student Unions consist of two buildings: Memorial Student Union and Brady Student Commons. Both facilities provide quality facilities, services and conveniences for all the students, faculty, staff and guests of the University.

Memorial Student Union
Dedicated as a World War I memorial in 1922, the Memorial Student Union offers a traditional setting for campus and community members to hold formal and informal meetings, conferences and special events. Guests of Memorial Student Union can grab a bite to eat at the Wheatstone Bistro or enjoy a full-service Starbucks coffee shop. Memorial Student Union offers conference and event planning services, a free laptop check-out program and a fax and copy service.

Memorial Student Union also houses a number of university departments and services, including the Office of Asian Affairs and the International Center; computer services through the Mizzou IT, the Office of Disability Services, University Catering and the Student Union Programming Board (SUPB).

Brady Student Commons
Brady Student Commons is the hub of student activities and services on the Mizzou campus, with more than 10,000 people coming and going each day. Brady Student Commons is home to the Center for Student Involvement, the Missouri Students Association, Greek Life and the Department of Student Life. As the central location for more than 500 clubs and organizations, there’s a lot going on inside Brady, day and night! Whether it’s getting your campus ID, having your computer fixed, picking up a textbook or grabbing a quick lunch, Brady Student Commons is your campus destination. Brady Student Commons offers one-stop conveniences to make life more enjoyable for our daily campus users and visiting guests. Amenities include a variety of dining options in the Brady Food Court, Mizzou Market (a convenience store), University Bookstore and TigerTech, a Digiprint Center, postal and banking options, a computer lab and a billiards and games area.

Coming Soon: MU’s New Student Center!
Built in 1963, Brady Student Commons has been the heart of Mizzou student life for more than four decades. At the time of its construction, Brady was designed to accommodate a student population of roughly 15,000. Today, with nearly twice the number of students, Brady is one of the most heavily used buildings on campus. Seating and dining areas are extremely limited and lounge, casual and meeting spaces are simply non-existent. Students voiced the need for a new student center, one worthy of future Tigers. In a record-breaking referendum in April 2005 students voted to increase their student activity fee to expand and renovate Brady Student Commons. Construction on the first portion of the new student center began during the summer of 2007.

The 220,000 square foot facility (almost double the size of the current Brady) will offer expanded services and amenities, expanded space for student government and space for programs, resources and services offered through Multicultural Affairs, the Women’s Center and the Wellness Resource Center. The new student center will be, above all, a place to make friends and lasting memories.
