LSUA is committed to a reciprocal relationship of enrichment with the diverse community it serves.

In recent years several additions to the LSU Alexandria campus have signaled important change and advancement, such as construction and occupancy of The Oaks Residence Hall, construction of the new baseball and softball complex (scheduled for dedication on February 3, 2010), and the current renovation of the Student Center and Brumfield-Caffey Annex.All of these speak to the very bright future of LSUA; however, the Multipurpose Academic Center will serve as a singular resource to transform teaching and learning on the campus.While it has taken several years to reach this stage, the MPAC will mark a new era in undergraduate higher education in Central Louisiana.
