Rendezvous Complex
Overview
Centrally located on campus across Martin Luther King Jr. Way from ISU’s Eli M. Oboler Library, the Rendezvous is quickly becoming a gathering place for the campus community. The complex promotes an enhanced collegial atmosphere that integrates upper and lower campuses in a facility where students and faculty can meet both in the classroom and in a social setting.
The Rendezvous Complex is designed to be the center of the University, where many of the University’s classes can be taught. Because classrooms will be centralized, this should free up space in existing buildings for faculty offices and laboratories.
Other facilities in the Rendezvous include a large computer center, a large meeting room with partitions for conversion into three small meeting rooms, and retail space housing an ISU Spirit Shop, an adjunct operation of the ISU Bookstore. All facilities in the PSUB, including the food service, remain as is.
