The Coach House.
The Coach House is the site of most public lectures at the College, and is typically a busy place on weeknights during the regular academic year. Its lecture-style set-up makes the Coach House an ideal event venue. Whether it's a talk, a performance, or a book launch, the Coach House is a multi-purpose venue. And when the room is not reserved for events, residents are welcome to use the Coach House without a booking as an additional study space or for informal gatherings. Resident committees may book a room for an organized event.

|---|---|---|
| Lecture seating (standard set-up) | 80 people | $75 for the first hour, $25 for each additional hour, up to a maximum charge of $250 per room, per day. |

The main space on the ground floor of Graham House is divided into two reception rooms: the Piano Lounge and the Billiards Room.
Residents and guests are welcome to use both the piano and billiards table in these areas, or simply to use the rooms as places to chat or enjoy some quiet time.
There is a wood-burning fireplace in the Piano Lounge, which creates an intimate ambiance for informal academic or social events during the winter months.

The Great Hall in Graham House

Located on the 2nd floor of Graham House and with both elevator and stairway access, the Great Hall can accommodate up to approximately 150 people for served and buffet dinners and lunches, or large receptions. Three rows of four rectangular tables that seat up to 12 people each are a standard feature of the room.
