Room Descriptions
The first floor features a large event space that will accommodate up to 300 guests with flexible seating, ideal for banquet dinners, cocktail receptions, conferences, and lectures. Floor to ceiling windows in the main lobby, west and south facades allow for breathtaking views of our campus. This space will also be equipped with an in-house speaker system, multiple projectors and screens.
In addition to the event space on the first floor there is also an entrance lobby which doubles as a pre-function space for registration as well as smaller receptions. It is included when the event space is reserved. The entrance lobby can also be rented separately when the event space is not in use.
The 2nd and 3rd floors each have a gallery, an open lounge space with casual seating and tables. The galleries can be used for pre-function activities or as an informal setting for breaks, meals, or receptions. On each floor, there are 2 flat classrooms, 2 large meeting rooms, and 6 small meeting rooms. The classrooms each have a maximum occupancy of 74 and can accommodate various seating configurations. These spaces are ideal for executive education courses, events, and breakout spaces for conferences.
