Kansas State University students voted strongly in favor to pass a referendum to renovate the K-State Student Union in April 2013. Following an extensive planning process, the September 2015 groundbreaking heralded the beginning of two years of work that would transform the campus living room into a dramatic, compelling space that is bursting with K-State pride. As the project draws to a close, Union Renovation Celebration week activities will thank and celebrate the K-State community for continued support and showcase everything the renovated Union has to offer.

Use #YourUnionCelebration to share pictures and memories throughout the week.
