Geothermal Buildings

Did you know that Boise has the largest direct-use geothermal system in the country?  It’s true!  Hot water from underground hot springs is piped from the foothills to many downtown buildings and across the river to the Boise State campus.

Boise State utilizes this renewable resource to heat the following buildings:

  • Administration Building
  • Morrison Center
  • Mathematics Building
  • Student Union Building
  • Multi-Purpose Classroom Building
  • Interactive Teaching and Learning Center
  • Micron Business and Economics Building
  • Alumni & Friends Center
  • Center For Visual Arts
