Brandt Student Center

The Brandt Student Center – with its game room, fitness center, food court, bookstore, and study areas – is the hub of campus life at Shenandoah University. It’s where students, faculty and staff members grab coffee, relax, host meetings, play or workout. A grand piano sits in the rotunda for anyone who feels moved to play.

All rooms in the building are multi-use and can be arranged to fit a wide range of needs. The Ferrari Room is large enough to accommodate banquets, receptions, parties and conferences. The Brandt Student Center is connected to a multi-level parking garage.

The Brandt Student Center staff, which includes more than 100 student-employees, is dedicated to providing great service in an attractive facility. There is always something happening in the Brandt Student Center.
