The Special Events Center is a performance and event facility serving the community, performance, and business needs of Boise State University and the general public. The Special Events Center includes a proscenium theater performance and event space, in addition to dressing room facilities, lobby, and box office which may be requested and reserved by groups or individuals for use. Special Events Center Advisory Board member organizations receive priority access to reserving performance and event space within the Special Events Center, followed by University-recognized student organizations and departments. Charges associated with space, equipment, or services; how much to charge; or whether to discount any charges, are based only on the reserving party type (i.e. recognized University departments, affiliates, student organizations, education/not for profit organizations, government agencies or organizations, or outside parties). Some services are charged consistently across parties and are not applicable for discounts. All costs and charges are itemized, explained in writing, and can be appealed.

Boise State Albertson's Library
Albertsons Library, as part of its mission, serves the public and strives to foster engagement with the local community, particularly through collaborative efforts with teachers, school media specialists, and students. The library building is open to the public. Idaho citizens may come in and borrow books (as “Special Borrowers”) and access online resources.
As part of our efforts to serve the community, we also support outside groups visiting the Library and using its resources. However, due to space and staffing constraints, arrangements must be made in advance and we may not be able to accommodate groups on their preferred date. It also should be noted that during periods when demand is heavy, it may be necessary to provide minimal service to non-Boise State University students.
