Parker Room
Capacity: 96 seated, 150 cocktails
Go ahead, add to that invitation list. Because from a banquet
to a workshop to a reception, space isn’t a problem in the Parker Room, Powdermill’s largest
gathering area. The room comes complete with a data/video projection
system, DVD and CD players, wireless microphone, lighted podium,
big display screen, and a built-in servery. Click here to see alternate setup for conference or lecture.
Permanent Exhibitions Area
Capacity: 60 seated, 80 cocktails
The Permanent Exhibitions Area is a multipurpose
space showcasing the center’s natural history and
current research exhibitions. Its living stream offers a look
at life
in Powdermill Run, and the interactive avian display is just
fun. Careful, because the deck’s beautiful wooded
backdrop may be a little distracting.
Outdoor Spaces
Casual get-together? Organized activity? The spacious deck and courtyard are open to whatever ideas you may have.
Surrounded by gardens and woods, these spaces are all about
the possibilities. And right next door, you have access to an
outdoor, natural-stone amphitheater at the
head of the beautiful Black Birch Trail.
Special Exhibitions Gallery
Capacity:
up to 48 seated,
70 cocktails, depending on exhibitions in space
The flexibility that makes the Special Exhibitions Gallery work for a variety of exhibitions means it can accommodate
a range of gatherings. The climate is carefully controlled
to protect the exhibitions, but you’ll find it a very cool
space no matter what your event.
