Welcome!

The Edward J. Pryzbyla University Center, completed in March of 2003, is located at the heart of the Catholic University Campus and serves as a center for visitor information and student life. The "Pryz," as it is has been nicknamed by students, is home to over thirty student organizations, the offices of the Division of Student Life, the student restaurant and Jazzman's cafe, the CUA bookstore, and the campus convenience store. For a comprehensive listing of the offices and services located in the university center, please visit our directory. The Pryz is a favorite venue for student events and activities, from Frisbee on the west lawn to political debates and lectures by some of the highest ranking public officials in the United States. We invite you to view photos of recent events at the Pryz in the UCSPE photo gallery.

The Pryzbyla Center is designed to provide many advanced services such as wireless internet access, video conferencing, and web casting. The Pryzbyla Center, a 104,000 square foot facility, offers a 7,000 square foot multi-purpose room, 9 various sized conference rooms, and a variety of lounge spaces for the CUA community and its guests. Even though it is a versatile space, the building's utility does not stand in the way of its beauty. The Pryz is an architectural work of art, and boasts a three-story sky lit atrium that provides natural lighting and picturesque views of campus.
