Great Room

Located on the ground floor off the front Plaza or accessible by elevator or two staircases, the old gym remains the heart of the 1912 Center as a community gathering place. It is great for wedding receptions, reunions, memorials, dances, symposiums, concerts, markets, and gatherings of all kinds. With south facing windows, a 16' high ceiling, a balcony that overlooks the room and glass doors that open onto Pall Plaza, there's plenty of light, as well as a full commercial kitchen and unlimited options for table arrangements. The Great Room is outfitted with dimmable lighting, automated window shades, a built-in sound system, projector, and motorized screen, and can seat 100 people for a dinner, 150 for rows of seating and up to 200 for a standing reception.
