The Union of today has far surpassed all original plans. Facing a growing student body, the Union will undergo a series of new additions and expansions over the years.
The first Union, called the Men's Student Union, officially opened in October 2014 located in a rented house on Tennessee Street. However, the distance from the campus and the problem of quietly led to a complete displacement one year after it opened.
In 1919, Chancellor Frank Strong organized a committee to form a memorial to the 129 Kansas students in life World War I. The Charter of the University of Kansas was approved May 4, 1921, and construction began four years later. After the University closed, it raised, the Kansas Union officially opened its doors to the University community in September.
The building project proceeded slowly at first because extra funding were not favorably looked upon at the time. But the Union Army had to participate after World War II, to meet the demands of a growing population.
A new addition was made in 1962 which doubled the original size of the relictory of enlargement of the structure came in 1960, and in 1965 an aluminium model was built.
