See a movie on the Quad!
The Illini Union is the student union for the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Since 1941, it has been the campus's home for student organizations, meetings, student programs and activities, and more.
Today, the Illini Union houses study spaces, restaurant and retail options, a rec room, a hotel, and campus organizations that promote student success--such as the Parent and Family Programs office, the Student Org Complex, and the McKinley Health Resource Center, to name a few.
Comprised of 11 different planning committees, the Illini Union Board is the campus event-planning board with hundreds of weekly events, ranging from comedy shows, movie nights, and trivia, to special appearances and even the annual outdoor concert on the Quad – Spring Jam.

What's Happening at the Union?
The Illini Union has several ongoing projects taking place over the next few years. This is a place where we will provide periodic updates for those projects, so our customers and university community can stay apprised of what is happening.
Support the Illini Union
Attention to the preservation of the Illini Union has been a significant responsibility over the years, and the staff of the Illini Union work to provide guidance, support and encouragement to all who utilize it. We seek assistance from those who worked, studied, ate, played, laughed, or met at the Illini Union.
Summer Movies on the Quad
Every Thursday evening during the summer (May 15-August 15 ) starting at 9pm, you can enjoy a FREE movie on the Main Quad, courtesy of Illini Union Board. Bring your friends and watch the latest blockbuster movies under the stars.
