A Brief History...

The facility that is now called the University Union was built in 1957 to serve as a cafeteria for the growing campus community. After renovation during the early 1980's, the University Union became known as the "living room" of CSUH, providing meeting rooms, office space, a game room, the Puzzle, space for Sundries, and the TV Lounge.

In 1999, the University Union began a second renovation project to modernize and increase the amount of usable space in the facility. Improvements were made to the facility's exterior and interior, as well as the addition of two new retail spaces on the second floor, now housing TCBY and University Union copy machines.
