The Forum — ASI’s newly launched space for campus communities

n April 8th, Cal Poly’s Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) officially opened The Forum, a new campus facility available for reservation exclusively by official student organizations. Located in Building 19a, Room 126 of the Pavillion, The Forum serves as a venue for hosting discussions and speaker-focused events.

“Just imagine a TED Talk stage with even more power… it’s really cool,” Daren Connor, ASI’s Interim Director of Facilities Management said. 

In collaboration with Cal Poly Partners, ASI invested over $2 million into the space’s creation in an effort to reinvent that area of campus, according to Connor. The space was constructed hand-in-hand with the 1901 Marketplace, though the two are separate facilities.
