====Heikkila Chemistry and Advanced Materials Science Building====

The three-story, 56,000 sq. ft. Heikkila Chemistry and Advanced Materials Science (HCAMS) building opened in 2019. It is named for benefactors Kurt and Beth Heikkila. The HCAMS building is the home of the Advanced Materials Center.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.d.umn.edu/facilities-management/construction-remodeling|title=Construction & Remodeling|last=honer012|date=2017-06-08|work=UMD|access-date=2018-08-30|language=en}}</ref>

====James I Swenson Civil Engineering Building====

Completed in 2010, the 35,300 square foot, $12,100,000 building was designed by [[Ross Barney Architects]] of [[Chicago, Illinois]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.archdaily.com/189461/umd-swenson-civil-engineering-building-ross-barney-architects/|title = UMD Swenson Civil Engineering Building / Ross-Barney Architects|date = 8 December 2011}}</ref> The new building for the Civil Engineering program is designed to teach students about materials, how they go together, how they age, and how they express the forces inherent in any structure. The exterior expresses the traits of a place where students design, construct, and test structures to withstand stresses and strains. The facade is distinguished by cor-ten steel, precast and poured in place concrete, concrete block, and scuppers clad in reclaimed wood. On a rainy day, the building is a demonstration of hydraulics and kinetic energy, as water pours from the scuppers and splashes into the cor-ten steel catch basins. The design has received many accolades, including the 2013 [[American Institute of Architects]] Cote Top Ten Green Project Award.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ecobuildingpulse.com/awards/2013-aia-cote-top-ten-green-project--james-i--swenson-civil-engineering-building.aspx|title=2013 AIA COTE Top Ten Green Project: James I. Swenson Civil Engineering Building|author=Jennifer Goodman|work=EcoBuilding Pulse|access-date=29 May 2015}}</ref>

The jury stated "This is an example of wedding together buildings that perform well but also are aesthetically rich, and culturally useful, beneficial, and beautiful in their own way. The project has a very honest expression of the materials—it's very clear what this building is made of. It's creative in its architectural expression in a way that's sculptural and sort of bold and solid like the sciences that are studied within. Seventy-seven percent energy reduction below the baseline in Duluth’s severe climate also is impressive."

====Marshall Performing Arts Center====

Marshall Performing Arts Center was built in the 1970s and is a 715-seat flexible thrust/proscenium theatre presenting an array of theatre and dance events. It was named after the parents of Julia and Caroline Marshall and Jessica Marshall Spencer (Albert and Julia N. Marshall) who were donors to the university. The Dudley Experimental Theatre (a black-box theatre within MPAC) was named for another donor, Marjorie Congdon Dudley.<ref name=autogenerated3 />

====Marshall W. Alworth Planetarium====

The construction of the Marshall W. Alworth [[Planetarium]] was supported by Marshall W. Alworth. Alworth grew up in Duluth and attended [[Central High School (Duluth, Minnesota)|Duluth Central High School]] and later [[Dartmouth College]]. He also donated funds towards scholarships which today are valued at over $35 million.<ref name=autogenerated3 />

The Marshall W. Alworth Planetarium has a {{convert|30|ft|m|abbr=on}} dome, which seats 65. Astronomical programs are delivered with an optomechanical Spitz A3P star machine, a full-dome digital projection system running UniView® software, surround sound, and programmable LRGB LED lighting. The planetarium is home to the Darling telescope, a 9-inch refracting telescope that belonged to [[Darling's Observatory|John H. Darling]].

====Swenson Science Building====

Completed in 2006, the building is situated on the main corridor into the 244 acre campus and contains 108,000 gross square feet of inter disciplinary research and teaching laboratories for Chemistry, Fresh Water Ecology and Biology and creates a link between the academic and residential areas of the campus. Designed by [[Ross Barney Architects]] of Chicago, Illinois, the new building provides 16 undergraduate instructional laboratories for 2100 students, 16 research laboratories for faculty and postdoctoral researchers, offices for faculty, graduate and postgraduate students, and the Biology departments administration. One unique feature is the wild rice research laboratory built into the watershed creating a front yard and an outdoor learning space.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tradelineinc.com/reports/2008-2/university-minnesotas-swenson-science-building-improves-education|title=University of Minnesota's Swenson Science Building Improves Education|access-date=29 May 2015}}</ref>

The outdoor area of the Swenson Science Building was designed by [[landscape architecture]] firm oslund.and.assoc. with the concept of "Science on Display", playing upon the idea that seeing is the ideal way to understand scientific concepts. The landscape features an experimental stormwater wetland garden, outdoor classrooms, experimental garden pool, and outdoor laboratories. The native plantings pay homage to the native peoples of Minnesota, with the water garden showcasing the cultivation of wild rice, a cultural staple of some of the Native Americans of the area. In 2007, this landscape won a 2007 [[American Society of Landscape Architects|ASLA]] General Design Honor Award.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.asla.org/awards/2007/07winners/237_oaala.html|title=ASLA 2007 Professional Awards|website=www.asla.org|access-date=2018-12-04}}</ref>

====Tweed Museum of Art====

The Tweed Museum of Art's history began in the 1920s when George and Alice Tweed first began collecting pieces of 19th and 20th American and European art<ref>European Painting from the Tweed Museum of Art by David Stark, Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota Duluth, 2000</ref> including examples of the French Barbizon School<ref>Tweed Museum of Art: 50 Years Artwork by Kenneth FitzGerald, Zuzana Licko, Martin DeWitt, and Peter Spooner.

Gray Sweeney, Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota Duluth, 1982</ref> After the death of Mr. Tweed in 1946, Mrs. Tweed saw the potential of the Tweed collection as a resource for the community.<ref name=autogenerated1>UMD Comes of Age: The First 100 Years, by Ken Moran and Neil Storch, 1996</ref><ref name=autogenerated3 /> She generously developed the funding for the present building which was dedicated in 1958.

Today the museum holds over 10,000 works of art.<ref>Duluth's Legacy: Architecture by James Allen Scott; John R Ulven; Robert T Calton; Dept. of Research, City of Duluth, 1974</ref> The collection features artists including David Ericson,<ref>David Ericson Always Returning: The Life and Work of a Duluth Cultural Icon, Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota Duluth, 2005</ref><ref>Forgotten Duluthians.

====Weber Music Hall====

The Weber Music Hall, built in 2002 and designed by architect [[César Pelli]], is considered the "gem" of UMD. The hall has state-of-the-art acoustics and can seat 350 people.<ref name=autogenerated4 />
