Joe Crowley Student Union
Completed and formally dedicated in November 2007, the Joe Crowley Student Union is one of the most transformational buildings ever built on campus. 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, Graduate Student Association and the Center for Student Cultural Diversity.
In addition, your Student Union includes:
- A central location next door to the Lawlor Events Center, Mackay Stadium, Lombardi Recreation Center and the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center

- A wide variety of conference rooms including 5 pre-set rooms, 6 multi-purpose rooms, a formal reception room, and ballroom
