Minneapolis campus
The original Minneapolis campus overlooked the Mississippi River on Saint Anthony Falls, but then one mile down from its current location (1.6 km) was nearly moved. The original site is now marked by a small park known as Chute Square at the intersection of University and Middle streets. School was closed after a financial crisis during the American Civil War, but John S. Pillsbury mind was reopened in 1867 with the financial assistance is considered. The 1869 date was upgraded to a college prep school, university Minneapolis campus into an East and West Bank of the Mississippi River is divided.
The campus now has buildings on both banks of the river. "East Bank", the main part of the campus, 307 acres (124 hectares) covers. West Bank Minnesota Law School, Humphrey School of Public Affairs, Management, serves Carlson School University and performing arts center is home to a variety of social science building.

Knoll area, the central shopping area, Health area, athletic field and Gateway areas: to help ease the circulation of large campuses, University of East Bank was split into two in various fields.
Knoll area of the old part of the university's current position is located in the northwest part of the campus. The discipline in this area is related to the humanities. Burton Hall College of Education and Human Development is housed. Many buildings in this area better than 100 years old; 13 Historical Sites of buildings on the old campus group includes the US National Register Historic District. In a dorm, Sanford Hall and student apartment complex, Roy Wilkins Hall, is located in this region. Institute for Advanced Study Center is located in Nolte.

CMI behind in another country, Comstock Hall and another student apartment complex, Yudof Hall.
Health area mall area southeast and Pharmacy, Nursing, Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine, Public School College degree focuses on the home as well as buildings for biological science students Health and Fairview Hospitals and Clinics. This building complex forms known as the University of Minnesota Medical Center. College of Biological Sciences part is located in this area.

Won an award has been awarded the prestigious LEED Gold certified building another new Science Teaching and Robert H. Bruininks is amended as Hall on May 1 Student Services Building (STSS), in 2015 this building. LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, an internationally recognized green building US Green Building Council is governed by the certification system. LEED, sustainable sites, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality and measure the size and construction of a building's design, including the one.
In August 2010 President Robert Bruininks opening STSS Munda said, "This is a big river and a support science education ministers will be built with the principles of sustainability at the forefront of construction, it is not appropriate".
STSS sustainability features include:
low-flow sinks and 50 percent less water use in a typical building of its size bathroom fixtures, installation of water conservation. Outdoor irrigation systems, soil saturation, and use a monitoring system to measure local weather patterns, so that watering takes place only when necessary. Native, drought-tolerant plants to reduce river water and reduce irrigation requirements minimized.
Recycling and re-manufacturer of site re-occupied section Science Classroom Building foundations to create STSS ago. This is used to create time and money and reduce the amount of new material was STSS. Recycled materials, carpets, tables, chairs and STSS has been included in the structural steel. In addition, storage for reuse or recycling 94 percent of construction debris was diverted from the site.
Air quality and the innovative air flow and air distribution system where the ceiling allows fresh air pushing stale air to move into the building. This air is then collected in the air ducts and the occupants of providing a healthy and comfortable air is circulated to the outside.
Exterior glass STSS western and southern side of the outer glass of the river and the city provides an aesthetic appearance and also provides natural lighting. This feature proved challenging for an energy-efficient building design. They opinions maximize levels and minimize glare glass column and strategically positioned to reduce solar heat gain 50 percent found a solution with a specially designed white dot pattern.
Building materials-is possible, builders Minneapolis 500-mile construction materials used to reduce transport emissions are produced, and support regional economies.
Links-STSS simplifies the design and construction of alternative transport and links with the Mississippi River. Bicycle racks are located around the building to ensure adequate parking. Bus stops are conveniently located near the building.
