Arkansas Union

The Arkansas Union is a multi-story building on the University of Arkansas campus that houses administrative offices, dining venues, meeting spaces, and student organization facilities. It combines different functions from daily services to gathering spaces under one roof.

The building opened in 1973 and underwent major expansion around 2000 to keep pace with growing student numbers and campus needs. This enlargement reflected how the university community was changing and what it required.

Students gather here for campus events, organization meetings, and casual hangouts throughout the academic year. The building serves as a central meeting point where the university community naturally comes together.

The building offers computer labs, study areas, and food options spread across multiple floors. The best times to explore are early morning or late afternoon when it is less crowded.

The building has become one of the highest-rated student unions in the United States. It is often studied as a model by other universities when designing modern spaces for learning and gathering.
