INSIDE THE STUDENT UNION
The Student Union — Hub of Campus Life
The recently-completed expansion and extensive update of the Student Union makes it more than ever the hub of campus life! The new Student Union is the “go-to” center for convenient access to food, essential services, corners for studying (or sleeping) and most importantly, a place to unwind and hangout with friends.

Shiple Hall — The Freshman Residence Hall
A complete reconstruction of the front entrance, followed by modernizing the lobby occurred summer 2020. Contemporary updates include new bathroom fixtures, paint, flooring, lighting and furniture.
Campus Expansion — Creating More Green Spaces
The University recently purchased land at the south end of campus (behind Shiple Hall). Plans for the land include an intramural sports field and green space specially designed for students to escape and enjoy the outdoors.
And More — Improvements All Across Campus
When the McNichols Campus Renovation Project is complete, nearly every building on McNichols Campus will be upgraded. All this investment is focused on making the Detroit Mercy student experience the best it can be.
“We are extremely excited to welcome students, their families, alumni and our community friends to the new Student Union and look forward to providing exceptional services and support to them under one roof.”
– Donald Taylor, President
