The O'Brien Hall Events Space (Michels Family Forum), OB150A/B is a dividable ballroom-type space with flexible seating for events up to 300 people.
In the default "seminar configuration" with tables as shown below the whole space seats 150. With the divider wall lowered, the space can become two rooms with 75 seats each.
We have the ability to remove the tables from the room and with the rental of more chairs, the room can be configured to hold as many as 300 with chairs only in a "lecture configuration"
The north gallery space just outside of the room is a great place for a reception or networking component.
