History

The Memorial Union Building broke ground in the Summer of 1950 following three years of planning and fund raising by the Alumni association following the apparent need to house auxiliary services after World War II. 

Occupying previous residency lots, the MUB was built right along side where old US 41 ran through the middle of campus opposite Hubble Hull(where now the MEEM stands(. The MUB was built to foster a collaborative and uniting environment for students on campus.
