Your Perfect Venue Awaits!
Welcome!
Ohio University's regional campuses offer a variety of meeting rooms, promotional spaces, multi-purpose event area, and outdoor venues that can be reserved for meetings, conferences, banquets, galas, dances, athletic events and much more.
All users of Ohio University regional campus facilities must adhere to university rules, regulations, and policies, as well as applicable state and federal laws, including fire and police department regulations.
During the academic year, Ohio University regional campus facilities prioritize events and activities for students, faculty, and staff. External requests (both university-affiliated and non-affiliated) will be considered on a case-by-case basis, provided there is available space, staffing, and resources.
