Jimmy & Cindi Ferguson Student Union

By 2026, Arkansas Tech University will have a brand new Student Union and Recreation Center at the heart of campus. With 69,990- square feet of space, there is plenty of room for you to focus on what's important to you. 

Let’s talk about how we got here. Arkansas Tech discovered a need to create a space where everyone could come together and collaborate. The answer to this need is the Student Union and Recreation Center. This addition to the campus is set to be completed in 2026. This nearly 69,990 square foot facility will have something for everyone, see a detailed list below. It is designed to be built on the same lot that the W. O. Young Building previously occupied. If you have any questions about this new building please fill out the form at the bottom of this page.

The Union will be a gamer's paradise. A brand new esports facility will have all of the latest and greatest gaming gear to make sure that our esports can thrive. But it’s not just esports. Anybody can get their game on in the recreational gaming lounge, where we encourage you to let loose and have a good time.

Study & Lounge

After a long day of classes, we understand that all you want to do is kick back and relax. That is why the Union is equipped with multiple lounge areas designated for students to just chill. You can also utilize these areas to tackle some studying.
