The Musson Military Veterans Lounge is on the third floor of UA's InfoCision Stadium. The construction and furnishings for the lounge were made possible by $220,000 in donations from the community, including the R.C. Musson and Katharine M. Musson Charitable Foundation. The lounge is named in recognition of the Musson Foundation's total giving, which includes an endowment for the facility.

The primary goal of the Military Services Center is to help you overcome any hurdle that you might encounter in the course of your university experience.
