Major Events in Baker University Center

For assistance in planning an event that involves more than one space, multiple days, sophisticated production, will attract a large crowd or will otherwise be out of the ordinary, contact Event Services. They specialize in renting spaces on Ohio University campus.

Outdoor Events

Many outdoor spaces throughout campus provide beautiful backdrops for any event. Such places would include Emeriti Park, College Green, The Ridges, and Tail-Great Park.

We recommend securing an alternate location in case of inclement weather. At times, southeastern Ohio weather is unpredictable. Some rain location sites may include: Nelson Dining Hall and Baker University Center's Ballroom. Speak with your catering professional for a recommendation.

OHIO Catering can assist you with tent, table, and chair rentals, linen service, place settings, coordinating trash removal personnel, and the many other key details required for a successful outdoor event.
