Campus Building Descriptions

BYU-Idaho Center
The BYU-Idaho Center operates like a large Latter-day Saint church building. The auditorium functions as a chapel
and the Gym services students like a cultural hall. A lobby area allows students to meet and study. The total size is
360,300 square feet.
BYU-I Center Auditorium - The auditorium is similar in design to the Churchs Conference Center in Salt Lake City,
Utah. Both rooms are built so that everyone in the audience has an unobstructed view of the stage. Compared to
the Salt Lake City Conference Center which seats 21,000, the BYU-Idaho Center is three rows shorter and does not
fan out as wide for a capacity of 15,000.
BYU-I Center Gymnasium - The BYU-Idaho Center houses ten sports courts. Each court is fully functional with
boundary lines so ten different games of basketball, volleyball, futsal (indoor soccer), or tennis could be going on
simultaneously. Plastic netting rolls down from the ceiling to separate spaces. Each court has its own speaker system
and scoreboard. The gym can also be used as a large banquet hall, which with tables set up, would seat 5,000.
