Spaces
Completed in 1997, the Student Services Building (SSB) is located at 100 West Dean Keeton St., between University Avenue and Wichita Street. The six-story building houses programs and resources that provide services to students, faculty and staff.
Most of the building's nine multi-purpose meeting rooms are located on the ground floor and are heavily used by building tenants and student organizations. These spaces are reserved through the building manager's office. The largest space, the Glenn W. Maloney Student Assembly Room, holds about 80 occupants.
The building serves as a study lounge for the campus community. The open lounge areas on most floors are used by individual students for studying and by small informal groups for meetings.
Statement of Purpose
The Student Services Building (SSB) provides core services to support student success in the following areas: social, physical, emotional, personal and financial.
The tenants of the Student Services Building value:
- The original student intent outlined in the Student Referendum of 1991 and 1994.
- Learning that occurs within each service, program and common use area.
- Fostering a climate that is accessible, welcoming and comfortable to all students.
- Offering essential services that complement and supplement student learning.
- Assessing and programmatically responding to the changing student needs.
- Contributing to a stimulating atmosphere for personal and collective growth.

Student Services Building Policy Committee
The Student Service Building Policy Committee (SSBPC) is an oversight committee charged with making recommendations to the vice president for student affairs that impact the use, environment and long-term viability of the student services building. The committee consists of membership from each building tenant and a student representative from Student Government and Senate of College Councils. The committee chair is appointed by the vice president for student affairs. While respecting the individuality of the different units within the Student Services Building (SSB), the SSBPC provides a systematic building-wide approach to addressing issues that impact the SSB community. The scope of the committee includes:
- Developing general building and room usage policies.
- Overseeing general building safety and security.
- Developing long-term SSB Budgets.
- Reviewing and approving major SSB renovations that impact public areas.
- Developing consistent paint, signage, furniture, floor coverings, artwork and other improvements to SSB public areas.
- Recommending space allocation to tenants within the SSB.
- Providing oversight of an operational manual for the SSB.
Additionally, the committee will convene to discuss and make decisions on non-routine matters that impact the use and overall environment of the SSB. These may include:
- Reviewing university and/or departmental policies that impact the use or environment of the SSB.
- Reviewing tenant-initiated renovations that impact SSB public areas.
- Reviewing requests or situations that fall outside of established policy or procedure that have potential to impact the use and environment of the SSB.
