The Lory Student Center is Colorado State's focal point for student activity. This facility, built in 1961 and named for former CSU President Charles A. Lory, has undergone extensive renovation.

The Lory Student Center offers students a place to eat, study, buy tickets to a campus event, take in a movie, bank, buy books, or just hang out. The Lory Student Center features a variety of different departments including Student Leadership Involvement & Community Engagement, Student Legal Services, the University Bookstore, Student Media, and ASCSU, the Colorado State University student government. It is also home to the RAMtech, a one stop shop for computing, software and electronic needs for students, faculty and staff.
