The Compton Union Building was named after Wilson Compton, University President from 1946-1951. The CUB opened in 1952, and was originally a three-story building. The CUB was remodeled in 1957, in 1967-68 with a major addition, and again in 2006-08. In the past the CUB housed a campus bowling alley. Today, the CUB houses dining options, the campus bookstore, student clubs, and much more.
