Dynamic Growth Defines Boise State as the New U Rising
If recent years at Boise State University can be summed up in a word, that word is growth. From student population to research dollars to a dizzying pace of new construction on campus, the university is rapidly advancing.
Enrollment totaled 22,678 students in 2012
An expanding research portfolio uniquely positions Boise State to play a vital role in improving the quality of life for the state, region and nation by exploring some of mankind’s most pressing questions. As an emerging metropolitan research university of distinction, Boise State is committed to fostering an environment where exceptional research and creative activity thrive.
Growing enrollment and an expanding research agenda have demanded new physical spaces across campus. In just the past four years, the university has opened or started construction on 11 new major building projects on campus encompassing more than 600,000 square feet of classroom, laboratory, office, event and common area space. That amounts to more than a 25 percent increase in campus space.
