Coffman Memorial Union, Minneapolis

Coffman Memorial Union is the Twin Cities community鈥檚 go-to hub for student buzz, offering concerts, club gatherings, movie nights, a food court, a bookstore, and plenty of study nooks. It鈥檚 been a centerpiece of the University of Minnesota since 1939, originally lauded for its sleek Steamship Modern style. While a 1970s renovation swept away much of that original charm, the building鈥檚 latest makeover aimed to bring back its 1939 flair while still catering to today鈥檚 students.

This revamped Coffman now ticks all the boxes鈥攁cademic services, retail options, entertainment spaces, and a fresh spin on social hangouts. On top of that, it鈥檚 designed to create a seamless corridor connecting the historic Northrop Mall鈥檚 central greenspace to the scenic Mississippi River. In short, Coffman is back at full steam, blending its elegant past with a student-centered future.
