Where is everyone?

As the College of Saint Benedict campus comes to life for a new academic year, it’s only natural to ask the obvious question: Where IS everyone? The last 6-12 months of healthy construction, renovation and consolidation are the result of impactful investments, and they’re sure to provide an improved experience for students, staff and guests. But first, we want to make sure you can find your way to the people and places you need. 

The list below highlights the current locations of offices affected by the latest construction projects and office changes. This information, along with an updated CSB map, should provide a helpful start and point you in the right direction. 

A series of open houses will be hosted in the renovated spaces this fall. Watch the Bulletin Board for details. 

Thanks to all for your input, patience and partnership.
