The New Student Union at the University of Missouri-Kansas City

Our Student Union Mission Statement: As the heart of the campus community, the UMKC Student Union offers a welcoming and sustainable environment that values the diversity of all students.

The New Student Union
We’re delighted you are taking the time to explore our new union through our website. While you are here, visit You Decide : You Design to learn more about how to become involved in designing a building for students, by students. We invite you to join us and help define and design our New Student Union! Help build our community, You Decide : You Design.

Did you know, we currently have an enrollment of more than 14,000 students and a projected twenty-one percent student increase by 2011. We believe, with the planned increase and with having one of the most attractive and pleasant urban university environments found in the mid-west, we will be one of the fastest growing institutions in Kansas City!

With the new Student Union, we are looking forward to growing and further enhancing our urban campus with unveiling a striking new technology laden student facility. The anticipated completion of the $38.4 million Student Union building is Fall Semester, 2011. Get ready to enjoy!

After you explore the New Student Union online, we encourage you to visit our campus in person. You will be pleased to find a diverse, warm and inviting UMKC campus community. And, a new state-of-the art, Student Union building, coming soon.

We want you to have a great visit to UMKC’s new Student Union website. If you have questions, please call on us!
