The center accommodates visitors to the IUB campus during times when the IU departments and other university facilities are not open, such as weekends, spring break and winter holidays. It also assists visitors who want basic and general information about IU and the City of Bloomington.

Among its future goals, according to center director Carol Stokes, is to initiate a program in conjunction with departments to provide tours to prospective graduate students, faculty and staff, and to establish partnerships with diverse student groups to build a student ambassador program.
