Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

NAU is in the final stages of a campus facelift. In the past few years, several new college buildings and a brand new expansion to the Union have been built. The Chemistry Lab building, for example, is absolutely gorgeous, with giant glass windows and a café inside to boot. The amenities inside the new buildings are also state-of-the-art. The W.A. Franke Business Building is another point of pride—it’s also an intimidating reason to not be late on your tuition payments. Also, with the field house and the Rec Center, students have no reason to put on the dreaded Freshman 15.

Even in the campus’s older buildings, the University has done a good job of keeping them usable, clean, and technologically sound. The du Bois Center (the “Doob”) and the Union both offer plenty of ambiance. Many different offices and meeting rooms are also located within them, making them a prime location for on-campus events. Anyone on campus will still feel like they’re on a traditional college campus, but the brand new buildings still remind you which century you are in. NAU has done well to mix the old with the new, and the lessening construction across campus is certainly a fantastic development.

The New Rec Center Is Amazing

The new recreation center at NAU is really good. There are three floors dedicated to fitness. There is an indoor running track, numerous multi-purpose rooms, exercise machines, an indoor rock climbing wall, as well as a gym, and indoor tennis and basketball courts. There are so many different exercise classes offered at different times during the day. There is also an smoothie stand inside the center.

Favorite Things To Do

Hanging out in the Union, especially Starbucks, is a good old pastime. The theatre department puts on 3-4 shows a semester in both the Clifford E. White Theater and the studio theater. The music department also puts on several productions a semester in the beautiful Ardrey Auditorium. Oftentimes, you’ll hear a band playing or a poetry reading in the Union Expansion. Once a semester or so, a big name music artist will come through and play for the University, with past guests including The Format, 311, and Jimmy Eat World.

If you’re itching for something to do at NAU, you can play some basketball in the gym, drench yourself in Dance Dance Revolution sweat at the game room, play in a poker tourney, swim some laps in the pool, and even culture yourself with a bit of theater—all in the same day!
