Abstract: For a completely Hausdorff quasi-topological group $G$, we construct a universal pro-$C^{*}$-algebra $C(E^{+}G)$ as the non-commutative geometer's analogue of the total space $EG$ of the classifying principal $G$-bundle $EGoBG$. The pro-$C^{*}$-algebra $C(EG)$ of (possibly unbounded) continuous functions on $EG$ is then recoverable as the abelianization of $C(E^{+}G)$. Along the way, we develop various aspects of the theory of quasi-topological $G$-spaces and $G$-pro-$C^{*}$-algebras.
