If you're group is looking for extraordinary Pennsylvania event facilities for a retreat, training or other low-key meeting in the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania, Saint Vincent College's new conference center may be just what you're after. The campus is modern, yet shows the strength and venerability of academia. New and old meld seamlessly, the rich woodwork combining with simple post-modern decor and ample ambient outdoor light, to provide an environment that is calm, yet invigorating. Saint Vincent College's new conference center is sure to provide all you want, maybe more than you imagined was possible!
Saint Vincent College's Fred M. Rogers Center is all new, providing world-class catering options. Snacks and dining can be plain fare or gourmet, served on a shingle or with elegant bow-tie service, as you prefer and your event dictates. Elsewhere on campus is the Community Center Dining Hall, which is available for large residential groups during summer events, serving all three main meals. For a less formal ala carte option, consider The Shack, a grill and deli with vending machines. And for the casual conversation, there's nothing quite like the Barista Cafe, a Gristmill Coffee House offering espresso, chai tea, sodas, and coffee, of course. It's easy to se that Saint Vincent College aims to please! The amenities and architecture already make this a pleasant place for your next event, but the function space really sets it apart! The banquet room boasts 30-foot high ceilings over a 4,000 square foot hall that can be partitioned into two rooms, each offering a full suite of technology! There's a balcony as well, and a large foyer (pre-function space) featuring an interactive exhibit of Fred M. Rogers' life. Three other progressively smaller spaces will ensure that your guests are able to participate in more intimate meetings as well, each with superb technology and its own calm charm.
These days, technology is essential. Saint Vincent features WiFi throughout the meeting facilities. SMART technology allows the podiums to employ laptops, DVD players, VCRs, iPods and other MP3 players. Lights and a separately amp'd mic system ensure that your presentation is well received.
Overnight accommodations for 450 include air conditioning, plus another 426 beds sans climate control. 182 of the temp-controlled beds are within apartment-style housing. Other spaces have shared private baths. Of course, residential buildings all have Internet, cable TV and telephones. In total, Saint Vincent College sleeps 900 and can host up to 1500 guests.
If that's not enough, this beautiful campus offers up a 500-seat theatre and a gymnasium during the summer months, ensuring that most groups will have plenty of elbow room to enjoy while there. On-campus attractions include the Saint Vincent Basilica, Gristmill, and Nature Reserve. Nearby are miniature golf, a go-kart track, video arcade, a water park (VERY high on the kids' list,) Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater", Fort Ligonier, and the temporary Flight 93 National Memorial. Guests will find plenty to do with recreational time.
The traditional and the modern, the classic and contemporary are all well melded in this breathtaking sylvan campus. Truly unusual for that and the quality of the experiences your guests will enjoy, Saint Vincent College, an Archabbey and Seminary, is a wonderfully unique venue.
