The campus will feature eight flexible meeting, event, and wedding spaces that can accommodate up to 300 guests. With private indoor and outdoor options, our venue is designed to inspire with distinctive architecture, natural lighting, open designs, and state-of-the-art technology. The brand new meeting and event spaces can host up to 300 guests for a standing reception in one of our eight unique spaces. Meeting rooms are equipped with integrated video conferencing capabilities to ensure seamless and productive events. The new AIA Commons has the capability to expand to an impressive 4000 square feet and is filled with natural lighting.
