Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

As with most colleges, Luther is in a constant race against time to keep its buildings up-to-date. The newest addition to campus is Sampson-Hoffland Laboratories, a cutting-edge science building that hosts the biology and chemistry departments. Many other buildings have also undergone recent facelifts—Farwell Hall, the Center for the Arts, and Jenson-Noble Hall of Music have all received large redesigns with spectacular modern results, and the Union was completed in 2006. However, some buildings are falling behind in the renovations race. Larsen Hall is entirely serviceable but rather creaky, and the Towers are next in line for a well-deserved overhaul. Special notice goes to Main—not only is it widely regarded as the ugliest building on campus, but the ineffectual heating system has a bad habit of making loud clanking noises during class.

Luther’s athletic facilities are excellent and well maintained. The Regents Center houses many different gyms for all kinds of varsity sports and intramural leagues, the Legends fitness center, and the Norse gym, which is generally hopping during basketball season. In general, Luther knows that progress needs to be made in a few buildings, and steps are being taken to ensure that every building on campus is viewed as a pinnacle of design and function. While a few buildings are admittedly showing their age, Luther works hard to make the facilities as conducive to education and living as possible.

Student Life

Luther has a great recreation center for students to workout in, this includes a climbing wall. Students often hang out in the lounges and study areas in dorms and the other buildings or the cyber cafe. The library is a great resource for students and the staff are very willing to help. The Student Activities Council brings in all sorts of great events, including bringing a bigger performance group each semester, people like Colbie Caillat.

Luther College Buildings and Facilities

Luther's facilities aren't Top 10 in the Nation or anything like that but are kept up very well by the faculty, staff, and students here and though many of them are old they still present a welcoming atmosphere. The student union on campus (Dahl Centennial) is newly renovated and houses the cafeteria, other dining facilities, student post office, resident life, service center for office supplies, and the bookshop. There are several places on campus to view art, many convention rooms, countless places for study, and many places for students just to relax and have fun. I truly am impressed by the upkeep and availability of facilities for all of students needs here at Luther!

New and Clean

Pretty much everything we have is brand new. Some of our housing buildings are older but we are in a constant state of updating. Not only is everything new, but it is also nearly always available. Most buildings across campus are open until midnight and some study areas stay open all night. The thing I like the most is that it is ALWAYS clean, no matter where you go or when you are there. We also have beautiful landscaping, a disc gold course, and open space to study outside.

Favorite Things To Do

Luther features many events of student involvement, which bodes well for the student who wishes to contribute on campus. Whether you want to toot your own horn at an open-mic night, get your Shakespeare on in a theater production, or just take in a movie or concert courtesy of SAC, Luther students will find plenty of entertainment from their contemporaries. If you’re looking for a hotbed of activity from outside Northeast Iowa, you’ll have to travel outside of Northeast Iowa to find it.

When it's warm: Hiking, biking, and sand volleyball. Ultimate Frisbee practice and touch football on the library lawn go on with regularity, and many students also enjoy working out, running or doing intramurals in Legends. When it's cold: Football also makes an appearance, along with skiing (downhill either in Rochester or LaCrosse, or cross-country on Luther’s campus). Those with sleds have no shortage of hills to choose from.
