Where the College Leaders Are 

Here you’ll find the offices of the Gustavus president, academic deans, alumni and advancement, and the Registrar, among other departments essential to keep Gustavus a place of learning, work, and business excellence. 

What’s Cool About It

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, campus architecture across the nation leaned away from ivy-covered brick and toward concrete bunker. The Edgar M. Carlson Administration Building, built in 1972, is a product of its time. Yet its best features shine bright. It’s named for a beloved former Gustavus president, and it’s darn near fireproof. The previous college administration building burned down in 1970, and with it went a century of student and college records. We are confident this one will help usher Gustavus into the 22nd century.
