Wilkinson Student Center
Built in 1964
The Wilkinson Student Center is named for the sixth president of BYU. During his presidency, the university completed 80 major buildings and the student body increased from less than 5,000 to more than 25,000—a tremendous growth over a 20-year period. Planning for this center took 12 years and the students paid 60% of the cost.
The building also has Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) Center which is designed to assist students in dealing with emotional and psychological challenges, along with other issues they may be facing. These services are provided for free to students.
Serving as our student union building, the Wilkinson Student Center includes a three-story bookstore, bowling alley and game room, post office, photography studio, movie theater, and one of the county’s best restaurants, the Skyroom, which is located on the sixth floor. The Wilkinson Student Center also has a salon, Studio 1030, as well as a restaurant called The Wall where students can enjoy live music and great American food.
