Meeting Facilities

The University of Michigan is one of the largest universities in the world in terms of building space. With more that 20 million square feet of space in our classrooms, auditoria, sport and performance venues, we are sure to have the space you need to host a successful program.

Administering such a huge inventory can make for challenges to those interested in renting. Conference Services staff has established relationships throughout campus to help you get the space you need.
