This center would be used by all campus agencies to welcome ‘visitors, including alumni, to the campus and to host meetings, seminars and symposia. The President’s Board Room and Room 338 of the Union Building are essentially the only facilities suitable for such activities. Both are highly utilized and in some cases, inadequate either in size or amenity-wise for the functions hosted. Some seminars will not come to Weber State for lack of adequate space. The Alumni House is another area where alumni can render service to the college which the college cannot do for itself.
