J. Wayne Reitz Union, Student center at University of Florida, Gainesville, US
The J. Wayne Reitz Union is a multi-level building on the University of Florida campus that combines dining, offices, retail, and study spaces. An outdoor amphitheater provides a gathering spot for events and social activities.
The building opened in 1967 and replaced an earlier student union that had served the campus since 1936. A major renovation in the early 2010s expanded and updated the structure to meet modern needs.
The building serves as a gathering hub where students connect through art studios, career events, and meeting spaces for clubs and organizations. These areas have become central to how the campus community shares interests and builds friendships.
The building provides easy access to health services, computer labs, multiple dining options, and study areas spread across its levels. Everything needed for a full campus day is available in one location.
The building features modern art installations and interactive design elements that catch the eye throughout its spaces. These touches give the structure a creative feel that goes beyond its practical purposes.
