About
Mount Holyoke College, located less than 20 minutes from Springfield, MA, offers a dramatic backdrop and idyllic setting for your next conference or event. The western Massachusetts campus has been rated one of the most beautiful by the Princeton Review. The facilities are rich in character yet house 21st century living accommodations and technology.
Mount Holyoke College’s flexible meeting space exudes a feeling of warmth with a fireplace in the living room and its large wall of windows overlooking the beautiful Massachusetts courtyard and waterfall. Each meeting room has its own style taking you away from the “typical” meeting room. Our South Hadley campus has ample free parking, full media services, and delicious catering to complement your next Mount Holyoke College conference, meeting, or social event.
The Willits-Hallowell Conference Center & Hotel has 8,000 square feet of meeting space and 20 hotel rooms. From June-August the Conference Office operation expands with over 1,000 beds in the residence halls, 45 classrooms, several auditoriums seating as many as 1,000, athletic fields, and computer labs. We host Springfield, MA area co-ed residential and day programs of all sizes, focuses, and age ranges.
Mount Holyoke College is conveniently located at the “crossroads of New England”, 10 minutes to both the Mass Turnpike and Interstate 91. The campus location makes it ideal for guests coming from throughout the New England region by car. If traveling by plane, Bradley International Airport is just a 40-minute ride.
Mount Holyoke College is unique because it offers the best of both worlds: meeting space in the summer months like most institutions but also year-round meeting space and overnight rooms in the Springfield, Massachusetts area. Allow our Mount Holyoke College event professionals coordinate all the necessities needed to make your South Hadley outing a success.
