Facility Features

The Center for Tomorrow features over 4,500 square feet of space to comfortably accommodate from 10 to 500 guests. As the University's sole facility dedicated to conference and banquet support, this year-round, multi-purpose building is easily partitioned into 5 tailored meeting spaces, plus a comfortable, private boardroom. We can design your meeting space to fit the special requirements of your event; from a banquet-style format or theater-style seating to a U-shaped conference room format or open courtyard. We recognize that how you get your message to your meeting guests is important; that's why we provide a selection of audiovisual equipment to meet all your technology needs. On-site professional conference and catering coordinators provide total commitment to make your meeting or event perfect. We also offer free parking.
