White Activities Center
Fireside, Banquet Room and Dining Room

The three meeting rooms in White Activities Center are fully outfitted with networked computers, data and video projection, DVD/VCR players, projection screens and microphones.

Each room may be used independantly for small meetings, or two adjoining rooms can be combined to create additional meeting space. Combining all three rooms allows for large events and is known as Centennial Hall. The equipment in Banquet Room or Fireside is generally used for events in Centennial Hall.

Additional microphones or audiovisual equipment may be requested for use in these rooms. Please contact Instructional Media for additional equipment.
