In 1946 the university student council met to consider possible blueprints for a new building, including a large auditorium, during a time when veterans were returning to complete their interrupted studies. The new building was financed by a series of mechanisms, and the completed structure opened in 1967. The Students' Union Building (SUB) has been expanded twice since its original construction. Along with the auditorium, named after former president Myer Horowitz, it holds a number of services and businesses owned and operated by the Students' Union, as well as services owned and operated by the University of Alberta, including the University Bookstore.
There are nearly 450 student groups on campus serving students interested in academic, cultural, recreational and political involvement.
The Gateway is the official student newspaper. Fully autonomous, it publishes "most Wednesdays." The university also has a monthly student newspaper, The Dagligtale, published at Augustana Campus in Camrose, Alberta.
