Marbeck Center

Bluffton University's Student Center
Marbeck Center is Bluffton's student center - a dynamic facility that hosts activites, has meeting spaces, and provides services for students that are found nowhere else on campus.

Marbeck Center is a place where students stop at least once a day, perhaps for a student organization meeting or to watch TV and play a game of carpetball. It's the campus mail center, with mail and packages coming and going daily, as well as the home of two different style dining locations. On any given evening you'll find students connecting to the wireless internet access, enjoying a display in the art gallery, or performing in an open mic night!

The Duck is Back!

For the second spring in a row, a mallard duck has made her nest in the ivy just outside the Marbeck Center mailroom. She was spotted in late March and her eggs are expected to hatch in mid-to-late April.

If you find yourself passing through Klassen Court and wish to see her nest, look in the ivy up against the brick exterior wall on the North side of the mailroom. She is well-camouflaged, but will occasionally peek to see if you are friend or foe.

 Towards the end of April, keep an eye on the sidewalk leading from Marbeck Center down to Riley Creek. If you're lucky, you might catch our fledgling friends on their march down to the water!
