Host your next event at Hunter College. Meetings, conferences, retreats, social events, concerts, dance theatrical performances or athletic activities. We have a venue for your next event.

Our Main Campus is conveniently located on the Upper East Side, easily accessible by public transportation. For events large or small, corporate or private, the campus is outfitted with small meeting rooms to an expansive auditorium with spaces ranging in capacity from 15 to 2040.

For special occasions, our newly renovated indoor/outdoor Rooftop Terrace and Dining Hall overlooking the Manhattan skyline provides a memorable setting for a distinctive event.

Our historic townhouse, Roosevelt House, is steeped with history and is steps away from the Main Campus. It is a prime location for lectures, retreats, and social functions.

Our East Harlem campus is a modern, environmentally friendly and technologically advanced building with plenty of bright light and furnishings. It’s an inviting setting for meetings, conferences, and receptions.

Event Setup Examples

Sample Floor plan
Conference and Hollow Square

Appropriate for interactive discussions and note-taking sessions for fewer than 25 people. Many hotels have elegant "boardrooms" for 10 to 20 people, equipped with full audiovisual capabilities, a writing board, a corkboard, and a flip chart.

Sample Floor plan
E-Shape, U-Shape, and T-Shape

Appropriate for groups of fewer than 40 people, these are best for interaction with a leader seated at the head of the setup. Audiovisual equipment is usually best set up at the open end of the seating.

Sample Floor plan
Theater

Appropriate for large sessions and short lectures that do not require extensive note-taking. This is a convenient setup before breaking into discussion or role-playing groups because chairs can be moved.

Sample Floor plan
Reception

A stand-up social function where beverages and light foods are served. Foods may be presented on small buffet tables or passed by servers. May precede a meal function.

Sample Floor plan
Schoolroom or Classroom

This is the most desirable setup for medium—to large-size lectures. It requires a relatively large room, and tables provide attendees with space for spreading out materials and taking notes.

Sample Floor plan
Rounds

Generally, round tables are used for meals and sessions involving small group discussions. A 60” round table seats 8-10 people, and a 72” round table seats 10-12 people.
