The University of Wyoming (UW) is a public land-grant research university in Laramie, Wyoming. It was founded in March 1886, four years before the territory was admitted as the 44th state, and opened in September 1887. The University of Wyoming is unusual in that its location within the state is written into the state's constitution. The university also offers outreach education in communities throughout Wyoming and online.

The center can meet the needs of almost any size or type of event. The spaces within the building are technologically savvy, flexible, and aesthetically one-of-a-kind, and there are two plazas ideal for outside events. These spaces can be used for intimate lunches or for a banquet of 600 in the ballroom and spilling out onto the outdoor plazas. They can be used for tailgating, weddings, speeches, reunions, conferences, or just a meeting place for friends traveling into town. There is free Wi-Fi and a 30-screen digital wall showing video content of Wyoming and its university.
The facility is home to the UW Alumni Association, Admissions, and the UW Foundation and contains office and collaborative space for these units as they support and promote the university.
