The 5,200-square-foot building at 426 College St., next to Johnny’s Big Burger, provides the University’s military-affiliated students (active-duty military, veterans, reservists, National Guard members, ROTC cadets, retirees and military families) with a one-stop shop for most of their social, financial and academic needs. The facility houses Austin Peay’s Veterans Upward Bound program, VetSuccess on Campus, a Career Services Military Advisor and a Student Success Military Affiliated Advisor. It also features a computer lab, a lounge area for watching television, eating and unwinding, tables for studying or eating and a self-serve coffee and tea bar.
