Overview
...
Upper Gwinn is a flexible event space with two primary rooms that can be combined or split depending on the needs of each event: Queen Anne room (QA) and Cascade room (CA). The space includes a foyer and a meeting room called the President's Dining Room (PDR). Each of the rooms in Upper Gwinn contains a configurable AV system that can match the combined or split modes of the physical space. The system was completely overhauled in December 2016 and January 2017 and now features modern audio and video capabilities while retaining the original system's functionality with the exception of AV connectivity to the President's Dining Room (PDR).
