What It Is
Construction has commenced for the Gordon B. Hinckley Alumni and Visitors Center, situated at the entrance to campus where the Alumni House formerly stood. The building will serve as an introduction to Brigham Young University for visitors, as an on-campus gathering place for alumni, and as a state-of-the-art facility for other functions as needed.

Why It Is a Priority
Each year thousands of visitors from around the world—scholars, government leaders, dignitaries, invited guests, and people simply wanting to see BYU—come to campus; this new building will be a facility to introduce them to the university and the spiritual foundations that anchor it. The building will be a front gate to campus, a place to feel the BYU experience.

BYU strives to maintain a relationship with its alumni. In this building, alumni and friends will be able to gather before campus events or participate in reunions and other meetings. There will be a reading room and a business center to send faxes, check e-mail, and use the Internet. This building will serve as an on-campus home for alumni.

President Hinckley’s unflagging support of BYU and his ambassadorial outreach as leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints typify the purposes of this new building. It will be a place that reaches out to and embraces—as President Hinckley has—people everywhere. Contributing is a wonderful opportunity to leave a legacy on the campus of BYU in honor of President Hinckley.

What It Does and How It Helps
With 80,000 square feet and three levels, the building will be a highly visible, welcoming, and practical facility where guests and newcomers will be introduced to the university—its history, mission, accomplishments, and destiny; where alumni will remember and reconnect to BYU; and where friends of the university and the Church can honor President Hinckley.
