Smaller Venues Chart
All events are important; therefore, we have also put together a list of traditional as well as unique spaces to host internal meetings, departmental training, staff events, and more. Since we are an academic institution, please be mindful of academic classes, privacy, building hours, parking limitations, and equipment availability for these event spaces.
