More about this space
The Wismer Center has been the College’s student-life hub since 1964, and its lounges are the campus’s most adaptable indoor rooms. The Lower Lounge takes up to 100 on an open floor that can be set for standing receptions, seated presentations or networking programs, with a projector screen, podium, PA and sound system. The Bears Den is a 52-person group and active-learning room with integrated projection, sound, podium and whiteboard. The Red Alcove holds up to 96 in an informal gathering area connected to the building’s circulation, with audio infrastructure for announcements and light programming. Wismer Dining Hall, on the same building, is presented separately.
