Where is UMA located?
Denise Goldman2020-12-02T14:03:00-06:00In September 2019, UMA started a new chapter in downtown St Paul at 19 E. Exchange Street. Formerly known as the McNally Smith College of Music, the site has been renovated and remodeled by Mortenson Construction, providing two additional classrooms, small office space for support services and wider hallways and stairwells. Public transportation is right across the street and nearby neighbors are the History Theater, Fitzgerald Theater and Minnesota Public Radio.
At the start of the 2015-16 school year, UMA was located in the St. Francis school building in the West Seventh neighborhood of St. Paul. Cramped for space with our growing enrollment, UMA sought a new location with room for expansion and moved out in June 2019.
Prior to being located in St. Paul, UMA held classes at Fort Snelling. The UMA
Board of Directors site selection committee continues to stay in contact with Fort Snelling and also looks at alternative locations in order to support UMA's growth plans.
