Iowa Memorial Union expansion opens with guest house and facilities
After years of planning and nearly three years of construction, the $4.2 million Iowa Memorial Union addition opens for occupancy on Monday. The project adds a 112 room Iowa House guest facility, a 500 seat cafeteria, private dining rooms, a large ballroom, conference rooms, studios, shops, crafts spaces and expanded student activity areas funded entirely by student fees and operations. Dedication will occur next September with union director Loren V. Kottner forecasting a campus hub shift to alumni, student organizations and conferences.
