As one of the oldest and most academically distinguished colleges in the Upper Midwest, Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota embraces a heritage of both tradition and vision. The newly-opened Beck Academic Hall reflects those values in a beautiful, high-functioning environment that promotes community and collaboration. The three-story, 125,000 s.f. facility consolidates six academic departments under one roof, including Communication Studies, Economics and Management, History, Psychology and Sociology/Anthropology; promoting interdisciplinary learning at the
heart of the campus. The building blends state-of-the-art labs with a very human touch, including a three-story atrium, open layout and abundant, flexible spaces for gathering and interaction. Since its opening in October 2011, Beck Academic Hall has quickly become a hub of scholastic life.
