A Gift of Love!
Hughes-Trigg
Student Center, the focal point for student activities at Southern Methodist
University, was conceived through a $10 million donation from Charles and
Katharine Hughes Trigg. The Triggs met and fell in love more than 65 years
ago precisely where the Center stands today. The 112,000 square foot
center, which opened in October 1987, features a variety of programs and a range
of resources to meet the daily needs of students.
The main level of the Center is highlighted by a two-story glass ceiling atrium. The three story building has a 500-seat theater, a multipurpose ballroom, a 100 seat high-tech forum, and ten meeting rooms. In addition, guests enjoy an art gallery, 24-hour computer lab, wireless Internet throughout the building, relaxing lounges and several retail operations. Postal services, ATM machine, faxes and ticket sales for Dallas events are only a few of the conveniences offered.
Hungry visitors may choose from one of the many dining options operated by SMU Dining Services. Choices include Chick-fil-A, Subway, Montague's Deli, the Market and Java City, which in addition to coffee offers smoothies, pastries, sandwiches and more.
Fully wheelchair accessible, the Center provides cultural, social, and educational programs designed to foster personal growth and enrich the lives of students, faculty and staff. More than a building, Hughes-Trigg is SMU's community center.
