(619) 260-8888
Welcome to the newly renovated Hahn University Center and the Student Life Pavilion
For the past 22 years, the Hahn University Center has functioned as the focal point of student life at the University of San Diego, and met the challenge of providing thousands of Toreros with the products, resources and amenities they needed to succeed — both in and out of the classroom.
Today, USD opens its doors to a new era; one that promises state-of-the art service, innovative technological resources and a heightened sense of community for undergraduate students, graduate and law students, faculty, staff and visitors. We invite you to explore the renovated Hahn University Center and the adjoining four-story, 50,000 square-foot Student Life Pavilion (SLP), which are connected by a breezeway featuring an exhibit hall. Find out more about the departments, services and student-centered involvement opportunities that will help you maximize student life at the University of San Diego.
