The Bruce Center was built in 1962 to replace the old dining hall, which had been in use since 1937. It was constructed during Dr. Imon E. Bruce’s tenure as president. The center offers the following facilities: University of Arkansas Archaeology Survey Station and Museum; Encore program; and the Talent Search and Upward Bound program suites. In the spring of 2008, the Mulerider Sports Club was added, which includes a computer lab, study area, and eight flat-screen televisions with sports channels. In the summer of 2012, part of the upper floor was converted into a food court featuring Chick-fil-A, Subway, and Tacos 4 Life.
