The Brandt Center is an immense multi-purpose building used by both NNU and the community to enjoy performances from the Boise Philharmonic orchestra, NNU’s spring musical and other special events. The Brandt Center also houses the Friesen Art Galleries, a location for students and other artists to feature their work. Three times a week all of campus gathers in the 1500-seat Swayne Auditorium for chapel. A typical service begins with student-led worship, which is followed by prayer and a short message from a speaker. This gathering is an important component of spiritual life on campus.
