Our versatile meeting rooms are ideal for any type of meeting, from corporate gatherings and luncheons to presentations and workshops. More than 6,135 square feet of space and five rooms can accommodate whatever format you have in mind: Host a large meeting in our grand room or a workshop or training session with room breakouts. Four of our multipurpose rooms have wall partitions that can be moved to allow expansion into larger room setups.

Furnishings and Equipment
Our room rental fees provide additional value with custom furniture setup and breakdown included. Furnishings include your choice of table shapes and sizes and cushioned chairs, and each of our meeting rooms have independently controlled temperature and lighting.
A wide range of meeting room equipment is also available for rent, including podiums with and without attached microphones, a/v carts, projectors and screens, a stage platform riser, and much more.
Catering Options
We maintain a listing of local caterers who can provide light snacks to large luncheons and everything in between. If you’d like to use your own food provider, all that’s needed is a copy of their operating license and the appropriate insurance. If your gathering will include serving alcohol, you can either utilize our on-site concessionaire, or we can refer you to a caterer who is in possession of the specific liquor license required to serve alcohol at the Thrasher-Horne Center.
