Old Main is the crown jewel of the Augsburg University campus. Its Renaissance-revival architecture captures the imagination, speaking both to the school’s heritage and to its developing role as a pivotal element in a new, central quadrangle, and as a vital connection within the University’s tightly knit, diverse neighborhood. As a renewed centerpiece for student learning, Old Main will house multi-faceted programming that includes humanities classrooms, a new Welcome Center, and an Interfaith Institute. These will be synthesized with new places for gathering that will draw students, faculty, and the public to its compelling new spaces, revealing a new order for Augsburg’s cutting edge education and inclusive culture.
