Memorial Union

A sunlit outdoor courtyard with a central blue-tiled fountain surrounded by white chairs and tables. Several trees provide shade, and large blue umbrellas are placed over some seating areas. In the background, there is a multi-story brick building partially obscured by tall trees. To the right, a colorful mural is visible on the wall of a building, and to the left, yellow umbrellas are seen on an upper patio area. The concrete ground is clean and spacious, with shadows of tree branches cast across it.

Memorial Union Meeting Rooms are offline.

As of June 28, 2025, the Garrison, Fielder, and DeCarli meeting rooms at the Memorial Union will be repurposed to house the new South Asian and Pacific Islander Retention Initiative (SANPIRI) center and will no longer be available for reservation.

We are excited to see the Memorial Union play a role in supporting this vital initiative and the communities they serve.  We recognize these spaces have been valuable to many groups, and we appreciate the impact this transition may have.
