The Danforth University Center (DUC) is a central hub of student and faculty involvement, dining, and relaxation at Washington University in St. Louis. Constructed in the collegiate Gothic style, the three-story building offers a range of social spaces for groups to convene and interact, including a Fun Room designed by students and Communication Arts, Inc. The DUC is dedicated to empowering students to become better people and fostering better communities, and it serves as a special place for students to gather with friends and classmates for activities, talks, learning, and growth.
The DUC is not only a vibrant social center but also a sustainable and environmentally conscious structure. It is LEED-NC Gold certified, exceeding state and federal codes for water and energy use efficiencies. The building's construction incorporated recycled products and materials, with about 75 percent of the construction waste being recycled. With its commitment to sustainability and its central role in campus life, the Danforth University Center is a testament to the university's dedication to creating a thriving and environmentally responsible community.
