4 examples is plenty
If anybody adds more examples, I say we delete them. We don't need that many, people can get the idea. --Awiseman 17:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Early co-ed student unions/activity centers
Can anyone help me with information on when student unions/activity centers began allowing full use to both male and female students? I know at some schools with older unions there are two, one historically for men and one historically for women, such as Michigan Union and Michigan League at the University of Michigan, and Houston Hall and Bennett Hall at Penn. In both of those cases they became co-ed in the late 1960s, but I know that there are some schools that only ever built one such building and allowed co-ed use at an earlier date. Can anyone suggest any sources for information about this? Thanks, cmadler (talk) 15:15, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
- http://ohiounion.osu.edu/about_the_union/history has a little on the two built for men and women. Pwojdacz (talk) 19:03, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
American examples
Every example listed, along with all of the history, is from American universities.
Are there no experts in other countries who can contribute?

I am no expert but that is what the article Students' union is about. Having a specific building dedicated to student relating things in the united state are typically refereed to a student center, student union or Student activity center. Internationally that building is controlled by a specific group of students where in the US it's typically not. Pwojdacz (talk) 06:58, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
- The articles are about two different things. Edinburgh University), but it seems that it is operated by the students' union, the Edinburgh University Students' Association. cmadler (talk) 14:04, 18 July 2012 (UTC)]
- Most British universities other than Oxford and Cambridge have a Student Union building (containing bars, performance halls, meeting rooms etc) which is owned by the university but which is administered by the local Students' Union (a quasi-political students' organisation). This isn't mentioned at all here. The frat houses that are unknown in Britain, not student unions. --Ef80 (talk) 14:30, 27 November 2015 (UTC)]

- Comment. Since when have students been active? However, see results on "Student activity center". If this is the common name for student common areas in the US, then so be it. GregKaye 10:56, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Comment For example, ISU Student Activities Center and the University of Texas (Austin)'s Activity Center is in their campus Unions. The way most schools set up their "activity center" it's more like a sub area of their unions where there is a bunch of student org offices, mailboxes or offices that serve student orgs (greek life, large campus events, student government) it's not really a hangout location. There are probably exceptions to this but I believe this is overwhelmingly common at most schools. Another option is to create a separate page from Student Activity Centers from Student Centers but I don't believe SACs are noteworthy enough. Pwojdacz (talk) 16:46, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
