A Tour of the Campus

Boise State University's 113-acre main campus is bordered to the north by the Boise River, to the south by University Drive, to the east by Broadway Avenue, and to the west by Ann Morrison Park. Step across the footbridge spanning the Boise River, and you are in the open green space of Julia Davis Park, home to the Idaho State Historical Museum, the Boise Art Museum, and Zoo Boise. Just a few minutes' walk from campus is downtown Boise, where you will find inviting shops, fine restaurants, and vibrant nightlife.

On campus, the Administration Building contains the offices of several student services, including admissions, financial aid, and the registrar. In Fall 2009, Health, Wellness and Counseling Services will become University Health Services and all services (medical, counseling, wellness and SHIP) will integrate under one roof in the new Norco Building. The Office of Advising and Academic Enhancement, the Career Center, and the Testing Center are located together in the Technical Services Building.

Classes are held in a number of buildings, including the Business Building, the Education Building, the Engineering and Technology Building, the Fine Arts Building, Kinesiology Building, the Liberal Arts Building, the Math/ Geosciences Building, the Micron Engineering Center, the Morrison Civil Engineering Building, the Multi-Purpose Classroom Facility, the Public Affairs/ Art West Building, and the Science/Nursing Building. The newest classroom building, the Interactive Learning Center, supports the latest in technology with twelve general use classrooms, multi-media labs, a classroom for research and innovation, and even a 3-D visualization classroom. It is also home to the Center for Teaching and Learning.

Other notable features of the campus include the Albertsons Library as well as the Centennial Amphitheatre - an outdoor venue for lectures, concerts, and plays. The Morrison Center for the Performing Arts houses the music department, the theatre arts department, a 2,000-seat performance hall, a 200-seat recital hall, and a 200-seat theater. The Student Recreation Center houses informal recreation, intramural sports, outdoor programs, fitness opportunities, a wellness center, as well as athletic training facilities.

Boise State University students also enjoy a newly expanded Student Union, which provides facilities for social, recreational, and cultural activities. In addition to a quick-copy center and three dining areas, the Student Union contains a game room, several lounges, the Boise State University Bookstore, and the Bronco Shop. While at the Student Union, you can stop by the Information Desk to pick up tickets for campus programs and community events, or visit the offices of more than 190 recognized student organizations.

Taco Bell Arena is Idaho's largest multi-purpose arena. When not filled with fans of Bronco basketball, gymnastics, or volleyball, Taco Bell Arena is the site of concerts, professional sporting events, and family entertainment. Nearby is Bronco Stadium, with a seating capacity of 32,000.
