Tickets
to attend the October 22 dedication of the new Gordon B. Hinckley Building
at Brigham Young University-Idaho in Rexburg will be available to students
and employees over the Internet on Wednesday, Oct. 9, at https://www.byui.edu/tickets/content/ticketlogin.asp.
Gordon
B. Hinckley, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
will attend the dedication along with President Thomas S. Monson, who
serves as first counselor in the First Presidency of the Church.
The
dedication will be held at 2 p.m.
during the regularly scheduled devotional time. The dedication will also be
carried live over KBYI, 100.5 FM.
Because
of limited seating inside the Hinckley
Building, student and employee
tickets will be available on the home page of the BYU-Idaho Website on
October 9 at both 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Only one ticket will be available
per student or employee on a first-come, first-served basis. Seating will
be available in the chapel, cultural hall and several classrooms.
Individual tickets will identify the specific location of the reserved
seat.
Tickets
will not be required at the overflow locations. For a complete list of
those sites, check the Website at
www.byui.edu/presentations/DedicationOverflow.htm.
The
54,000-square-foot building was constructed primarily to create meeting
space for Latter-day Saint student congregations. Twelve congregations of
students are able to meet for their Sunday services in the new building,
which includes a chapel, gymnasium, multipurpose area, two full kitchens
and numerous classrooms. The building also contains large lobby-like areas
and a vestibule with large windows overlooking floral gardens.
Aside
from Sunday worship, the building is being used during the week for
religion and health classes and for the school’s activities program.
The
design for the building is similar to institute buildings on campuses at Idaho
State University,
Dixie College
and Salt Lake
Community College.
