Wyoming Union

The Heart of the University of Wyoming's Campus

Welcome to the Wyoming Union, your campus living room at the University of Wyoming. The student union is your spot for dining, shopping or just hanging out between classes. With major restaurant chains for the foodies and social butterflies to comfortable and secluded nooks for studying and unwinding, there’s always room for everyone at the Union. Located between Coe Library and Half Acre Recreation and Wellness Center, it makes sense that this is the central hub of UW’s campus. When you’re at UW it’s not long before you hear: “Meet me at the Union.”

Whether you're headed to class or looking to unwind, the Union is your gateway to it all.

UW’s Campus Living Room

For nearly 100 years, the Wyoming Union has served as the “campus living room” for University of Wyoming students. Over the years, it has evolved—like the replacement of the Union Barbershop and the transformation of the soda fountain into a pub and game room. Yet, one thing has remained constant: this student union brings the UW community together and welcomes all..
