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.

AWESOME!

All the buildings on campus receive updates yearly. Athletic centers have a lot of money put into them, so they are very nice. The students centers include a disabilities service, a tutoring service and many other services on campus. The library is HUGE! and deff one of a kind. There is always a campus even going on each week and everyone is so nice here!

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!
