The Gordon B. Hinckley Alumni and Visitors Center is a welcoming home for visitors and alumni to the Brigham Young University campus. The dual purpose of the building is to serve alumni and visitors, and merge two complementary functions that previously had been housed separately.
The building accommodates either intimate or large gatherings. It has a “family room,” visitor’s center, assembly hall and conference rooms on the main level. Within the family room, a cozy area with a fireplace is surrounded by two-story windows. The design includes a business center on the second floor that accommodates visiting alumni. The administrative offices for the alumni association are on the upper floors, and its boardroom and library are on the main level.
The building is on a prominent edge of campus overlooking Utah Valley. The front is on West Campus Drive, and views are evident through the building at the main entry. The family room and assembly room open to the west into a generous backyard with spectacular views.
