The mission of the John J. Hemmingson Center is to provide a warm and inviting atmosphere to all. The University Center is a meeting place for all students as well as faculty, staff, alumni and the guests of Gonzaga University. Providing dining options, meeting space, lounge, and programming facilities, the Hemmingson Center is a great place to study, meet with friends, relax or be entertained after a long day of classes.
Built in 2015, our university center brings to life Gonzaga's rich history, educational experiences and serves as a gathering place for students, staff, faculty and the greater Spokane community.
