FACILITIES
"Smart" Classrooms and Computer Labs
The latest innovation in 21st-century
learning transforms into the perfect meeting space for your
organization, especially if you need multimedia tools at your
fingertips. Each classroom is wired for Internet
access, cable television, data transmission, and telecommunications. The
SMART Board (located in the front of the room) can display DVDs,
videocassettes, website pages, and computer programs like Word, Excel,
and PowerPoint. You can manipulate text and objects by simply touching
the screen. The rooms also have high-resolution document cameras that
can capture 2- and 3-dimensional images and broadcast them onto the
projection screen. In addition, each room has a state-of-the-art sound
system, an LCD projector, a computer loaded with software and a flat
screen monitor. Those attending your meeting can bring their laptop
computer and tap into the network right at their seat.
Conference/Meeting Rooms
Perhaps you want to host a luncheon with a
dozen people. Or, maybe you need to make arrangements for a three-day
business convention that will involve accommodations for hundreds of
working professionals. In either case,
La Roche University has the facilities that will meet your needs. Both the
Private Dining Room and President's Dining Room are perfect for smaller
gatherings. The Cantellops
Art Gallery's high ceilings and intricate lighting provide an
attractive space for artistic presentations and art shows. For larger
meetings or conferences, you can reserve either the Ryan Room or the
Cantellops Dining Hall, both located in the Zappala College Center.
Kerr Fitness and Sports Center
The Kerr Fitness and
Sports Center is the perfect venue for youth sports camps or large
meetings. We can talk to you about securing the
basketball court as the venue for large-scale meetings, lectures or
presentations (groups of 200 or more). If you are hosting a convention
that includes overnight accommodations, your guests can utilize the
center during their free time.

offer plenty of amenities if your event requires an overnight stay. All
of the residence halls are located in the heart of the East campus.The rooms are apartment-style suites with air conditioning and private bathrooms,

lounges and meeting rooms for smaller breakout sessions or informal
gatherings.
