ISU-Meridian Events & Room Reservations

While we are pleased to support events that align with Idaho State University's mission, it’s important to note that ISU Meridian Health Science Center is not an event center. As a university, our primary focus is on serving students and supporting their academic experience. Therefore, the services and resources we can provide for external or non-academic events are limited and must be balanced with our commitment to student-centered priorities.

Some things to be aware of are as follows:

·   Largest room will only accommodate up to 80 people

·   A Facilities Use Agreement is required on all external and non-academic events.  This will also require general liability insurance in the sum of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000)

·   Event pricing is subject to change at any time
