We partner with University departments to ensure for a successful camp or conference experience. Spread throughout our campus, these spaces can host a variety of different events, celebrations, meetings, conferences, and more, all with conducive parking and plenty of chairs and tables.
The Hamilton-Williams Campus Center provides large and small meeting places, a variety of conference rooms, multiple dining areas, and many informal gathering spaces. It is a two-level building with a five-level tower at its east end.
At the west end of the building, the Benes Rooms can accommodate 500 people for dinner and larger groups for lectures; or can be subdivided into three smaller meeting rooms.
University Hall is a 100+ year-old, massive stone edifice, with its soaring bell tower and peaked roof. It includes a variety of administrative offices, including that of the President, and two floors of classrooms.
University Hall is perhaps best known as the site of Gray Chapel. Gray Chapel, which seats 1,079 people, is among the nation’s preeminent concert halls, annually attracting noted performers. Also included in Gray Chapel is the magnificent Klais concert organ — one of only three such instruments in the United States.
Chappelear Drama Center is the home for the Theatre and Dance department. The center offers flexible seating in its main auditorium which seats 450, and the studio theatre, which seats 125. Rehearsal spaces are also available.
Certain rows of chairs are removable to allow for a pit orchestra or extra stage space if needed as well.
Classrooms are available in Phillips Hall, Science Center, Elliott Hall, Merrick Hall, Sturges Hall, and the Corns Building.
Accommodations range from seminar rooms for 10 to 20 people to classrooms accommodating more than 100 people.
Many classrooms on campus have projectors or TVs that can be used with a laptop letting you do more in the classrooms.
