You may have noticed this handsome new building near the I-80 freeway, let's check it out on an OLLI Tour! We will meet on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno to tour the John Tulloch Business Building, the new home for the College of Business. This building is designed as a welcoming gateway between city and campus, creating a new front door on the university's southern perimeter. We will tour parts of the five-story, 128,000 square foot building which combines classrooms, computer labs, and auditoriums with social spaces including a cafeteria and outdoor terraces. The tour will last about one hour, and will involve walking through various parts of the building.

TOUR SIGN-UP REQUIRED: Sign-up will open on January 30 and close on February 5. Tour is limited to 22 OLLI members. A lottery will be held to fill available slots if demand exceeds availability. You may register for only one of the two available tour times: 10 am OR 1 pm.

PLEASE NOTE: Each OLLI member must sign up separately to be considered for joint attendance. Signing up for the tour does not guarantee participation. Confirmation details will be provided individually once the tour deadline has closed to let you know if you're on the tour or not.
