Danforth and the late Elizabeth (Ibby”) Gray Danforth, the DUC is a hub of student and faculty involvement, dining and relaxation. The three-story building was constructed entirely in the collegiate Gothic style by architecture firm Tsoi/Kobus & Associates. The building was dedicated on April 17, 2009 and has been a central gathering place on campus ever since. Learn more about Chancellor Emeritus William H. Danforth . A Social Center Social spaces are available for groups to convene and interact in an inviting, dynamic location in the heart of the campus. A Fun Room has been codesigned by students and Communication Arts, Inc. featuring garage doors that can be raised or lowered, modular furniture, chalkboard walls and high-tech audiovisual equipment. Ibby would be very pleased by having her name attached to this wonderful center,” said Dr. William H. Danforth. I have countless warm memories of our years together at Washington University. She would see the new Danforth University Center as a special place where students can gather with their friends and classmates for activities and talks, for learning and for growing.” Sustainability The Danforth University Center is a green structure that is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-NC Gold certified, in accordance with standards set by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The LEED system awards points to the building based on a 100-point scale, and points are weighted to reflect their potential environmental impacts. Gold is the second-highest certification level achievable. The DUC has improved water and energy use efficiencies exceeding state and federal codes.
