The K-State Student Union Bowling Center, a campus favorite for decades, will be undergoing an exciting equipment upgrade to implement cutting-edge QubicaAMF EDGE string pinsetters, the latest innovation in the industry. The center will be closed from Sunday, June 23 through early August 2024 to accommodate the renovation.

The extensive project will not only replace the aging pinsetter machines but will also include the installation of new gutters and capping, a state-of-the-art scoring system and bowling ball returns. String pinsetters were approved for use in centers by the United States Bowling Congress, the national governing body for the sport of bowling, in April 2023.

The improvements will provide an excellent patron experience and provide more than 150 different bowling games from which customers can choose. The center plans to reopen in early August and looks forward to welcoming customers back and showcasing the improvements made.
