The University of Missouri–St. Louis is setting course toward a renewed and reimagined future that will serve our university, region and far beyond for decades to come.

Over the past several years, we came together to develop, align and champion our Campus Strategic Plan, Strategic Enrollment Plan and our recently approved Campus Master Plan – all of which serve as the foundations for our future growth and investments.

Dramatic transformation is underway at UMSL as we collectively seek to rise up our university community and our region. We are steadily moving forward on our ambitious plans and we have launched this site to serve as a home to share and communicate these efforts.

Pardon Our Progress

The SSB Modernization and Expansion is currently in the construction phase as we start the fall semester. UMSL Facilities has coordinated with the general contractor to maintain SSB 1st floor as an accessible route around the quad construction. As previously communicated, we will maintain an ADA accessible route to the SSB elevator as well as keep the stairway open at the south entrance of SSB. We ask that you:

  • Follow directional signage to navigate alternative routes.
  • Allow extra time for transitions between buildings.
  • Utilize MSC Parking Garages for access to Lucas Hall and Clark Hall.
  • Utilize parking on West Drive and next to Anheuser Busch Hall for access to SSB first floor, ABH and Express Scripts Hall.

the construction zone covers the parking lot to the east of the Library, continues through the quad to the area just south of Express Scripts hall. Walkways are available around the construction space.

Building our Academic Community

UMSL is working to establish and enhanced academic core on its North Campus, which includes the transition of key academic programs and facilities from the South Campus to the North Campus in concert with a comprehensive renovation of classroom, laboratory and community spaces to serve students for decades to come.
