Student Union Opened at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

The Mussallem Union project at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, IN, was recently completed, and opened to the student community for the first time. The feature-rich facility serves as a place for students to socialize, study, and relax.

Some of the spaces in the Mussallem Union include a coffee/smoothie bar, a café, an outdoor patio, conference rooms, and the Office of Career Services. Aside from being a gathering place for students, the Mussallem also acts as a campus welcome center for visitors to the school. The project, which began in 2016, is named after project donors Linda and Rose-Hulman graduate Mike Mussallem.
