The Great Room
This multi-functional event space can host everything from training and workshops to banquets and expos. It can be divided into up to three separate areas and has the capability to livestream directly from the Gymnatorium, making it an excellent option for overflow seating or multi-room event experiences.
The Gymnatorium
One of our largest event spaces, the Gymnatorium accommodates up to 1,000 guests banquet-style and 2,300 guests theater-style. This versatile space is ideal for concerts, large-scale banquets, ceremonies, conferences, and community gatherings.
The Connection Center
The Connection Center is a uniquely designed space filled with natural light, making it ideal for networking events, birthday parties, baby showers, vendor showcases and trainings. It is especially popular for workshops, professional development sessions and intimate social gatherings such as cultural celebrations.
The Promenade
Located on the second floor, The Promenade is our largest event space and is ideal for gatherings of up to 300 guests. It is a popular choice for chapter meetings, proms, birthday celebrations, large breakout sessions and more.
-
Just outside the room, The Gathering provides an open pre function area that works perfectly for registration, guest check in, vendor tables, photo booths, and social mingling before or during your event.
The Promenade is also self contained, with multiple restroom stalls accessible directly from the space for added guest convenience. Right next door, the Dance Studio can serve as a valuable secondary room for caterers, special guests, storage, or other event support needs.
The Dance Studio
The Dance Studio is a bright, open space designed for movement and creativity. Completely mirrored, it is ideal for performing arts rehearsals, dance classes, yoga sessions and meditation. The flexible layout makes it a great option for arts and crafts workshops, hospitality rooms, event setup and prep or small events that benefit from an open, adaptable environment.
Hang Time Mid High
Located on the second floor, Hang Time Mid High is a spacious room suited for larger breakout sessions and social events such as parties and proms. The space features a tiled section that works perfectly as a dance floor or for setting up food and beverage stations.
-
With abundant natural light, the room feels open and inviting throughout the day. It is accessible directly from the hallway and can also be freely connected to Hang Time High, making it ideal for events that require easy flow between both spaces.
Classroom 2111
Room 2111 is a large second floor classroom that feels spacious and comfortable in any configuration, whether set theater style, with banquet rounds, or in a classroom layout. It is a popular choice for trainings, seminars, and professional development sessions.

Like all second floor classrooms, the room includes a whiteboard, drop down screen, and mounted projector, making it easy to support presentations and instruction. Room 2111 is also a great fit for small nonprofit events and networking gatherings for startups.
Room 1430
The ELC is uniquely positioned near our aquarium and surrounded by large windows, allowing guests to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding space. For added privacy when needed, the room is also equipped with window shades.
-
Its standard setup features acrylic tables and chairs, creating a relaxed, lounge-style atmosphere that works well as a networking space, hospitality room, or staff workroom, especially given its convenient central location on the first floor.
The configuration is flexible and can easily be converted to round tables or theater-style seating, making it equally suitable for workshops, meetings, and trainings.
Room 1420
Located adjacent to the Gymnatorium, Room 1420 is an ideal green room, speaker holding area, or book signing space. Its proximity to the main event area makes it especially convenient for presenters and special guests.
