Campus Venues

 

Event & Conference Services coordinates the planning and scheduling of programs and events across campus. Our team works with university departments, student organizations and external partners to identify appropriate venues and support successful programs.

From small meetings to large campus celebrations, Towson University venues accommodate a wide variety of gatherings throughout the year.

Many activities take place in the University Union and West Village Commons, which offer flexible meeting and event spaces in convenient campus locations.

The University Union, located in the center of campus, includes a 15,000-square-foot ballroom, a 300-seat auditorium and a variety of meeting rooms suitable for conferences, programs and campus events.

West Village Commons, located on the west side of campus, features more than 10,000 square feet of meeting space, including a large ballroom and several conference areas.

For larger events such as athletic competitions, concerts, graduations or trade shows, venues in the university’s sports complex provide additional capacity, including SECU Arena and Johnny Unitas® Stadium.
