Welcome to the Idaho RADAR Center
RADAR will be open limited hours beginning October 12th, 2020
Due to COVID-19, RADAR has been closed to the public for several months. Beginning October 12th, we plan to be open to the public on Mondays and Tuesdays from 9:30am to 3:30pm. Many factors could force us to be unavailable during these limited hours, so we do encourage you to call or email beforehand, if possible. Appointments on other days/times are possible as well.
Masks are required on Boise State University campus. We will still serve our patrons through online ordering or requests through email (shipping within the state of Idaho) at any time!
