Enjoy the natural warmth of solid wood in Miller Hall, our largest facility. With bold architecture and a rough-hewn ambiance, the hall boasts an open broad-beamed 72-foot clear span ceiling with no posts to interfere with your function. Polished stone floors alternate with contemporary carpeting to lend a quiet elegance to the hall's spacious feeling.

Greet your guests or business associates in the hall's intimate entry vestibule, clad in inviting wood tones and stone. Adjoining the entry is an ample lobby that opens to a smooth-stone patio, which is ideal for starlight evenings and can be tented for events needing extra space. ADA restrooms and a large commercial-style kitchen are provided.

With Miller Hall you can choose among a variety of seating arrangements for dining, audience presentations, classroom style, work groups, center stage performances, and more. Included are a raised stage, basic sound system, wall-mounted projection screen, and an array of adjustable lighting to suit your specific needs. An adjoining 120 sq-ft. cloakroom can also serve for set-up or other preparations. For your convenience, a separate service drive allows for quick delivery and off-loading.
