This new "home away from home" is a result of the generosity of many contributors.
Alumni and friends of the University are invited to participate in the development and future of Illinois State’s first Alumni Center. There are numerous opportunities to name spaces within the facility. For more information, please contact
, executive director of development, at (309) 438-7681.
The entrance to the Illinois State University Alumni Center is marked by two-story windows and a sophisticated, yet comfortable seating area flanked by a stone fireplace.
Beyond the stone fireplace, visitors to the alumni center enter a grand hallway that serves as both entertainment and reception space. The great hall includes elegant wood treatments, artwork, and plasma screens to announce events and University news.
Adjacent to the seating/waiting area is the entrance to the Illinois State University Foundation office suite and conference room. Equipped with meeting furniture and related technologies, the conference room provides important work space for alumni, faculty, staff, and students.
The Illinois State University Alumni Center features two large meeting rooms just off the great hall. Each provides space for over 200 guests to participate in lectures, workshops, or other meetings. The large conference rooms are equipped with state of the art projection, video conferencing, and other presentation equipment. The rooms are also designed to host elegant luncheons and dinners for alumni and other University guests.
Two medium-sized conference rooms are designed to provide meeting space for groups up to 30. Both are equipped with presentation and projection technologies, including access to a mobile laptop lab. Furniture in these rooms can be configured in several different arrangements.
The Illinois State University Alumni Center is a highly visible symbol of the important contributions and achievements of our alumni. The brick and stone façade underscores our traditions and campus landmarks while the elegant interior provides fitting spaces for alumni and friends to connect with Illinois State’s present and future.
