Coffman Memorial Union along with Northrop Mall, forms the heart of campus. The newly renovated union houses a central Minneapolis bookstore, student groups, bowling, billiards, a computer lab, and food court.
Across Washington Avenue lies Northrop Mall, a grassy area bounded by some of the most iconic buildings on campus. During good weather, Northop Mall is full of students, staff, and faculty relaxing, studying, and playing.
This view of campus was taken before the renovation of the union.
