 This is St. Cloud State in a minute. Before Atwood Memorial Center opened in September 1966, there wasn't a student union on campus, and residence halls were used for student union spaces. The student union was seen not simply as a place for students to relax, but one that strives to provide real opportunities for personal and social development. In 1961, 80% of the student body surveyed agreed to pay a $5 fee per quarter to support a student union. That would be about $200 today. Originally, Atwood was only the basement and first floor. Phase II completed in 1972 and added a second floor, the art gallery, alumni room, theater, ballroom, and offices. Additions in the early 90s expanded the building east toward the river with meeting rooms on the second floor and food establishments on the main level. Today's Atwood was made complete in 2003 with an expansion to the west with cascade room, more dining, and a skyway connecting Centennial Hall. That was St. Cloud State in a minute.
