Campus
The Boise State University campus is near downtown Boise, Idaho, U.S.A. RRC employees may occasionally need to visit campus locations such as the Department of Biological Sciences in the Science Building, Albertsons Library, the Student Union Building, and various locations to dine. You can explore the full Boise State Map that includes search functions using building abbreviations, AED-equipped locations, and more. Bronco Shuttle may be used free of charge by employees and can even be used to go to downtown Boise (there is a stop right by the Raptor Research Building at Lusk and Royal).

Boise Area
Boise is a fantastic inland small city with plenty of nearby outdoor recreation and research areas. See HR's comprehensive Boise State Relocation Resources; it is great for those who have relocated or anyone wanting to learn more about local resources at various stages of life.
