Student Unions provide a variety of services, facilities and programs designed to meet the needs of our students and UB community.
The Student Union and Harriman Hall are central hubs on campus, serving as gathering places for students and offering a wide range of services and activities. We create a welcoming, fun and relaxing social heart of campus. We provide a safe space for every member of the campus community to build pride and character, create life-long memories and share ideas. We deliver innovative, student-focused and sustainable services that enhance the student experience, fosters community and enriches the cultural and social life of the campus, promoting diversity, creativity and personal growth.
Student Unions is always focused on increasing sustainability in the operations of their buildings and spaces on both north and south campuses. Sustainability is a mindset that can be incorporated into all aspects of our operations including: those that are economic in nature and operational innovations. Those that are social in nature such as inclusiveness, proactive attention to diversity, and gender equality; and in environmental areas such as energy consumption, waste management.
Some Specific Sustainability Action Areas in the Student Unions and the UN Sustainable Development Goals they address are:
Created the Student Life Division Green Office Certification Program which has currently awarded certifications to 10 departments encompassing 16 offices.
Purchased and installed the new UB Standard Recycling Containers and operates the highest visibility Single Stream recycling program in its buildings.

We’ve been working hard on getting the new location for the Game Room (220 Student Union) setup for you. Stop by to shoot some hoops, or challenge a friend to a game of chess, ping pong, or air hockey. Let the games begin!
Stemming from a divisional book read, When Likes Aren’t Enough, by Dr. Tim Bono and candid conversations amongst Directors, the idea of a visual way for students, staff and faculty to express themselves, reflect, and practice gratitude evolved. We invite you to visit our office in 228 Student Union to obtain a leaf. We also have the ability for those not on campus to obtain a leaf by completing this form. Leaves are added weekly on “Thankful Thursdays”.
As leaves are added throughout the semester, our campus community will watch our tree grow.
As we return to campus after navigating through a pandemic, what better time to reflect on things to be grateful for?
Show us your pride! The Paint A Bull located outside of the Student Union is a fun and creative way to advertise events or to just express yourself. From sundown to sunup the Bull is open to be painted by any person or group. Once the sun rises, the Bull cannot be touched until sundown the next day. A few rules: bring your own supplies, show respect to Buffalo and to members of the community and ONLY the Buffalo can be painted. Be creative and have fun!
