The William H. and Elizabeth Gray Danforth University Center’s mission is to offer each member of the Washington University in St. Louis community a “place” on campus with an environment to work, relax, and gather.

The Danforth University Center provides a welcoming space for all who participate in the life of the University – students, faculty, staff, alums, neighbors, parents, and friends.

It is a crossroads for all of these constituencies as they make use of its courtyards, meeting rooms, lounges, and upscale and casual dining venues.
