In all, Turbine Hall offers 40,000 square feet, divided into six rooms. The main chamber can host 1,000 people in classroom-style seating. The catering services are superb, and offer several varied menu choices. A complete meeting package is available, to ensure that there are no surprises to upset the budget.

Two words come to mind when categorizing some of the dinners and parties that have been held at the Turbine Hall: Lavish and Extravagant. What was once “one of the best preserved and most monumental power plants in the United States” (according to the Historic American Buildings Survey) is now a premiere world-class venue fit for royalty and heads of State. Able to host 600 for a white-glove sit-down service, or as many as a thousand guests for meetings and parties, Turbine Hall redefines historic elegance in venues by adding state-of the art AV technologies. Of course, high speed Internet is available throughout. The facilities include 4 large projection screen systems, a formal stage, ballroom and dance floor, a separate lounge area, bar, and ample free parking for your guests. Events held at Turbine Hall most closely resemble socialite affairs seen in Hollywood movies!

Historically significant, Turbine Hall was originally constructed in 1916 by the Philadelphia Electric Company, intending to provide the increased demand for electricity due to war-related industries housed in Philadelphia during World War One. The design was accomplished by the famous Beaux-Arts architect John T. Windrim and engineered by W.C.L. Eglin. It took two years to complete the mammoth undertaking, which has received many architectural awards. That it still stands proud and undeniably strong nearly a hundred years later is testimony to its venerable excellence, both as a power plant and now as an outstanding venue.

Turbine Hall is also very conveniently located. Sitting along the edge of the Delaware river just 15 minutes from the city-center of Philadelphia, and a mere 20 minutes from Philadelphia International Airport, this impressive world-class venue is available (aside from previous reservations,) every day of the year. This accessibility combined with the services offered and convenient location make the Turbine one of the top East Coast convention centers and event facilities.

To ensure the comfort and well being of all guests, as well as preserving the beauty of this amazing venue, Turbine Hall is a non-smoking facility. Overnight guests can find lodgings in any of the several nearby hotels. This facility readily lends itself to red-carpet gala events.

The conference facilities are atypical.  One of the first things visitors notice is that the campus architecture is unusual.  Concepts of geometric symmetry are taken nearly to their logical extreme in forming the buildings.  On top of the usual classroom and lecture presentation environments, U of Mass, Dartmouth also offers conferences the opportunity to utilize less conventional spaces, nooks and alcoves and courtyards that are often seen as public or off-limits at other venues.  In all, some 80 areas are made available all year long.  Like most East Coast university meeting venues, overnight housing is only available during the summer months, from June through August.  Twenty-two hundred can sleep on campus in a combination of residence hall quarters, and apartment-style suites during those summer months. During the school year, the largest group would be 800, which is the capacity of their largest theatre-style environment.

Internet connections are available in conventional spaces.  Teleconferencing and videoconferencing facilities are also at your disposal, as are computer labs.  From a technological standpoint, the U of Mass, Dartmouth is pretty much state-of-the-art.  Of course, the sound systems in the theatres are state-of-the-art as well.  Just about anything you might ask — any media or presentation format — for can be made available for your event.

Group dining facilities are found in the residence halls, as well as the Commuter Cafeteria near the Main Quad, by the Main Auditorium.  Additionally, the Faculty Dining Room, a more intimate and flexible table & chair space, and the Sky Ranch Grill and Garden Toss, as well as the Birch, Maple Ridge and Oak Glen Grills, are pleased to accommodate a more personal approach to meals.

It’s easy to see that the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth provides an extraordinary choice making in on of the top East Coast conference center facilities.
