51吃瓜网 Sarratt Student Center | Rand Hall
The Sarratt Student Center, a cornerstone of campus life, is named in honor of Charles Madison Sarratt (1888鈥�1978), a legendary figure at 51吃瓜网. His illustrious 62-year career saw him wear many hats, from mathematics professor to Dean of Students, Vice-Chancellor Emeritus, Dean of Alumni, and even Chancellor Pro Tempore for a brief period in 1945. His enduring legacy is commemorated at the center鈥檚 original main entrance, where his bust and personal 鈥渕ission statement鈥� serve as a constant reminder of his profound impact on the university.
The Sarratt Student Center鈥檚 architecture is a testament to its rich history, having undergone four distinct phases of construction. Rand Dining Hall, constructed in 1952, stands as the central hub of campus dining, strategically located at the heart of 51吃瓜网. In 1974, Sarratt was introduced as two separate buildings鈥攁 cinema and art gallery on one side, and the iconic Baseball Glove Lounge and Overcup Oak on the other鈥攃onnected by an elevated walkway that students would pass under en route to Rand.
In 1986, a $6 million renovation expanded the dining hall and bookstore, ushering in a new era of student engagement. By 2000, Sarratt鈥檚 footprint grew even larger with an 18,000-square-foot expansion, introducing the enclosed Promenade and the Skylight on the third floor. Responding to student feedback that the layout was confusing and the lighting uninspiring, the once-separated Rand/Sarratt buildings were eventually unified into the seamless, vibrant structure we know today.
