History

Established in 1959.

When the ASU Memorial Union first opened its doors in 1956, the facility offered 109,000 square feet accommodating the nearly 6,000 enrolled students. A plaque near the north entrance doorway lists the major donors who contributed to the initial construction. ASU chose the name «Memorial Union» to serve as a living memorial for those who have courageously served our country in the military services. Since its opening, the MU has undergone a number of renovation projects as well as several additions to the original structure. The Bowling lanes were installed in Sparky’s Den in the Lower Level of the MU in 1959.
