As an academic institution, Manchester offers a wide range of unique meeting facilities and technology services.Â
Manchester University brings something new and different to your meeting. We have auditoriums, recital halls, conference rooms, classrooms, computer labs, lecture halls and a chapel. Because of the variety of facilities, we can accommodate groups as small as 15 or as large as 1,125.
Fort Wayne
- Auditorium – This is the perfect facility for large presentations or training sessions. The 150-seat auditorium offers video capture, a desktop computer and document camera, a 4,000-lumen projector and screen, both handheld and lapel microphones, and an inviting green room for presenters. Guests using the auditorium will appreciate the tablet desk at each chair for note-taking. We have assisted listening devices in the auditorium.
- Conference Rooms – Flexible meeting space is a priority for today’s top events. Conference rooms can be configured to make one large conference space totaling just over 2,100 square feet, or divided into three smaller meeting spaces for breakout sessions. The large conference layout can accommodate up to 130 guests for a catered meal or 150 guests for a presentation. All three conference rooms offer wireless internet, built-in screens, digital projectors, computers, assisted listening devices and built-in audio and PA systems.
