The old bookstore has been completely refurbished and upgraded in conversion to the Rice Family Pavilion. While keeping its nostalgic charm, it was redesigned to be the campus’ premier location for events, meetings and receptions. The 10,000-square-foot pavilion accommodates 250 people for sit-down dinners, 350 for lectures or receptions, and nearly 500 for networking events. The space has direct access to a catering kitchen and flexibility to host student organizations, private functions, community gatherings, and more.
