Centennial is a larger-sized meeting room ideal for banquet-style gatherings and larger student / departmental meetings.
Please note that these capacities vary based on special requests, including staging and other equipment. Our Event Services Team is happy to discuss setups other than what is described here.
In most cases, Registered Student Organizations and GT Departments may use the Exhibition Hall spaces at no charge. Room charges will apply to RSO and GT Departments on two occasions:
- RSO and GT Departments who are charging admission or collecting fees (to attendees or vendors) for an event. Events for the sole purpose of fundraising for the RSO are included; or
- RSO and GT Departments who are co-sponsoring with an off-campus organization. RSO who are directly affiliated with an off-campus organization are excluded if the event/meeting directly relates to the mission of the RSO.
