The Bell Memorial Union (BMU) is Chico State's student union and the center for all Associated Students programs and services. The BMU, built-in 1969 and remodeled in 2001, is home to several Dining Services retail and dining options, the Wildcat Store, the Third Floor Gallery, and several reservable conference rooms and event spaces that serve the entire Chico community, including our premier auditorium.


To learn more about how we keep the BMU safe and comfortable, view the BMU Facility Handbook.
