Year Built: 2000
Purpose: Student Resource Center
The C. Charles Jackson Center, proposed in 1997 and dedicated to the Gustavus campus April 8th, 2000 was a $19.4 million dollar project, the most costly project in the college’s history. After the tornado of March 29th, 1998, the construction of the new campus center was taken as a major step of recovery to the Gustavus community.
The building was named after C. Charles Jackson, a retired donor from Minnetonka whose gifts to the college totaled about $4 million. The 106,000 square foot campus center is now connected to the old Student Union building.
Today the Campus Center includes:
Upper Level
Gustavus Dining Service, Evelyn Young Dining Room, Office of Admission, Office of the Dean of Students
Lower Level
Office of Alcohol/Drug Education, Peer Assistance Center, Office of Student Activities, Information Center, Residential Life Office, Diversity Center, The Bookmark, Gustie Den, Printing Services, Post Office/Mail Room, Hillstrom Museum of Art, Courtyard Café, Health Services
