The Alumni Room has 24 lounge seats, 6 side or coffee tables, four conference tables, and a podium. Approximately 60 non-lounge chairs can be added by the library to accommodate a larger gathering.
The room is neither air-conditioned nor network connected. It therefore does not particularly lend itself to multi-media presentations. These activities should be scheduled in Room 104.
Located on the first floor, it is primarily accessible by elevator from the fifth (main) floor.
The pine-paneled Alumni Room is traditional in its tone and is especially appointed for such campus events as receptions, readings, book signings, seminars, working group discussions, and panels. It has been used successfully for meetings and programs of honor societies.
Light food and beverages may be served. Hot food, banquet or dinner style fare is strongly discouraged. The person reserving the room makes all necessary arrangements for the delivery and removal of food with the Food Service. Likewise, any request for additional furniture must be made by the requester with Campus Events.
The Alumni Room can be used as a reading room when events are not scheduled there and when the Media Center is staffed and supervised.
