The new Veterans Center is about 500 square feet larger than the previous building on University Drive. The previous building opened in 2015, the first dedicated space on campus for veteran students. The new center, which started serving students earlier this year, includes amenities such as a kitchen, lounge, conference room and computer lab. A Veterans Affairs counselor also comes weekly, a service that wasn’t possible in the previous space.
FSU is committed to making all of its programs, services and activities accessible to persons with disabilities. To request accommodations through the ADA Compliance Office, call 301-687-4102 or use a Voice Relay Operator at 1-800-735-2258.
