About the Venue
Completed and formally dedicated in November 2007, the Joe Crowley Student Union is one of the most transformational buildings ever built on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno. The 167,000-square-foot, “green” environmentally friendly facility signals a shift in campus expansion, offering the campus and community a new centrally located “front door” to the University from Virginia Street.
Named in honor of University President Joe Crowley, whose 23-year tenure as the institution’s chief executive is a record, the Joe Crowley Student Union features a two-story ASUN Bookstore, a variety of food and drink retailers, a 1,200-seat grand ballroom, a 220-seat, two-level movie theater, a 2,000-square-foot student organization center, and is home to the Associated Students of the University of Nevada and the Graduate Student Association.
