This impressive facility accommodates large banquets, conferences, meetings, and programs, and includes a large, adjacent, catering kitchen. The ballroom seats 750 lecture style and 500 in banquet format. The room may be divided into three smaller rooms, and is equipped with built-in sound systems, a large stage and dressing rooms. Reservations for the use of the ballroom are typically made a year in advance.
Availability is limited, so planning ahead is essential.
A fee for the use of the ballroom will be charged for all non-university groups. Once the reservation has been made, it will be logged into the computerized reservation system. Failure to cancel a room reservation may jeopardize future use of the Russell Union for the remainder of the semester. Depending on the availability of space for university related activities, non-university groups wishing to reserve a meeting room or the theatre may do so. A fee will be charged.
