IMAGIN Mines has expanded west with the addition of three new residence halls, the Newman Center, a growing Physics department, and the Foundation and Alumni Association offices. The Surbeck Center has become the center of the university, offering a variety of programs, activities, and services for students, faculty, staff, and the community. Expanding Surbeck Center and building the Gail and Guy March Alumni Center will revitalize the center of campus to accommodate a growing student body.

STUDY At all hours of the day and night, the Surbeck Center is where students go to study and socialize. The center of the campus, between dorms and classrooms, students gather here, working together in groups. The Surbeck Center expansion will provide spaces that support student collaboration and promote academic excellence.
TUTOR Launched in fall 2016, the Student Success Center works with instructors and faculty advisors in each department to support students through the hardest classes at Mines. Students can access free tutoring and attend workshops on topics such as time management and learning strategies. Increased space would put the tutoring center in the heart of campus.

DINE The Surbeck Center expansion will accommodate additional seating for 300 students. When not used for dining, this space will serve as a student lounge and study area.
