Iowa Memorial Union

Since 1923, the Iowa Memorial Union (IMU) has been at the center of campus life at the University of Iowa. Thousands of students, faculty, and staff visit the IMU every day. At the IMU students meet up, study, join student organizations, attend events, concerts, and lectures, and more. Hundreds of student activities and organizations are facilitated by the IMU's Center for Student Involvement & Leadership.

The main floor includes the Hubbard Commons, Welcome Center, Main Lounge, River Room Cafe, and the Iowa Theater. There are also meeting spaces and the offices for the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership and the Office of the Dean of Students.

The ground floor of the IMU is also home to our Iowa Hawk Shop, the official University of Iowa bookstore. The ground floor also features a food court, coffee shop, and convenience store.

Students have abundant access to the IMU, taking advantage of the numerous lounges and study spaces.
