About Traditions Plaza

In honor of MU's landmark 175th anniversary in 2014, the Mizzou Alumni Association sponsored the development of what has become one of MU's favorite campus landmarks, Traditions Plaza.

The plaza is an outdoor gathering and programming space on the north end of Carnahan Quad that bookends Tiger Plaza on south end of the quad. Daytime or evening, Traditions Plaza serves as a beautiful setting to enjoy a concert, spirit rally, outdoor class, summer movie or other function (the audience faces Jesse Hall).

Located in the heart of campus, Traditions Plaza is across the street from Jesse Hall along Conley Avenue.Traditions Plaza's convenient and central location is within steps of Reynolds Alumni Center, visitor parking and other attractions such as Beetle Bailey, Mizzou Legacy Walk, Jesse Hall and Francis Quadrangle.

Project Donors, use the paver locator maps to find your paver(s).

Map keys are located at the top - use CTRL + F to search for the donor's LAST name for each paver. Some names are based off the gifted person's last name.

Honoring Our Shared Pride of Place

Traditions Plaza has a variety of features honoring MU’s history and heritage. MU traditions along with notable quotations are etched in the bricks and tiles that create the stage and pillars making the plaza one of the most cherished and hallowed locations on central campus.

All alumni, students, fans, friends, faculty and staff are invited to take part in this special project by marking their names in MU history with an inscribed 4-by-8-inch or 8-by-8-inch paver. Inscribed pavers are available in two locations: on the main stage and on the Mizzou Legacy Circle. Learn more about paver options or read our inscription guidelines.

In Gratitude to Our Mizzou Legacies

The circular brick landing at the top of the hill is named the Mizzou Legacy Circle. This premium location is reserved for 4-by-8-inch pavers purchased exclusively by MU legacies and their families. MU legacies and legacy families have the option of placing their paver on the Mizzou Legacy Circle or on the main stage of the Traditions Plaza.

What is a legacy?

If anyone in your immediate family graduated from MU before you, then you are a legacy; this includes siblings, parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. If a family has two or more generations of Mizzou Tigers, they are considered a legacy family.
