Selecting a Venue
No matter where your event is being held on campus or even beyond University boundaries, University Catering is excited and prepared to serve you. If you are still deciding where to have your event, consider these options:
Michigan League
Built in 1929, holds 18,000 square feet of meeting space and includes a range of facilities from smaller boardrooms to a grand ballroom that can accommodate 300. There is also a lovely courtyard garden adjacent to the building. The polished slate floors, stained glass windows and wood paneled walls offer a beautiful, historic setting with all the contemporary amenities. The League also offers a twenty–one room hotel, a variety of eateries, and a convenience store. More information on rooms at the League.
Michigan Union
Historic elegance charged with student energy makes the Michigan Union a favorite place to visit on campus. Built in 1919, the Michigan Union has twenty–two meeting rooms with a total of 24,000 square feet of meeting space for hosting events from 10 to 400 guests. Located on central campus, this stately building combines contemporary amenities with traditional grandeur and is home to extensive food options, a convenience store, a Billiards and Games room and a Barnes and Noble bookstore. More information on rooms at the Union.
Pierpont Commons
Located on North Campus, Pierpont Commons was built in 1963 and offers seven meeting rooms for hosting banquets from 7 to 200. All meeting rooms feature floor to ceiling windows and offer a dramatic view of beautiful North Campus. Pierpont is home to many international students and its connection to the Duderstadt Center, a comprehensive, multi–disciplinary high–tech library, as well as proximity to the School of Music and School of Art & Design, make this facility a diverse and exciting setting for events. Pierpont is also the base for University Catering’s off–premise catering operation. More information on rooms at Pierpont Commons.
