Minnesota State University Moorhead Comstock Memorial Union
Cuningham redesigned and expanded the 87,000-square-foot Comstock Memorial Union at Minnesota State University-Moorhead. An additional 3,100 square feet of entry and daylight lounge was added and the interior core was redesigned to be more accessible, open and transparent for students. The design also includes a new suite of spaces to house student clubs and the student senate, as well as flexible areas for student interaction and a new café with improved food options. These features also serve to promote students’ year-round connection to the outdoors.

“Not only is the building more accessible; it’s more open. When you walked into the union before, you’d find outdated furniture and several closed-off spaces and hallways. Now you’ll find an assortment of furniture and plenty of open space that’s easier to maneuver.”
