PROFILE OF FACILITY

The Thames Center is a state-of-the-art conference and meeting facility with superb accommodations, a variety of choices available for catering and in-house dining, and recreational options.  Our full range of modern resources and conveniences are complimented by a remarkable degree of warmth and personal service. The staff offices of the College's Workforce Education Division are also housed in the Thames Center. 

Wolf Hall is a large banquet hall with an adjacent full-service kitchen. This large room is designed so that it can be subdivided in to three smaller banquet rooms or six breakout rooms.  We have the capability of transforming any of these rooms into banquet, theatre, reception, or classroom seating.   Wolf Hall's features include a drop down projector screen, state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems perfect for training programs, specialized meetings, retreats, reunions, strategic planning sessions or for your company's annual employee dinner.

 

Natchez Room is a large conference room that can be used for training or for general meetings.  This room has everything you need to provide a modern training session with the most up-to-date technology.  You can receive satellite downlinks for teleconferences, project PowerPoint presentations, etc.

 

Wesson Room is a technology lab that has 25 computers (24 student and 1 instructor).  These computers can be used to provide customized training for business and industry.  In addition, we have laptop computers available for training.

 

Suites are available for smaller conferences or breakout sessions. These two suites will accommodate 8-15 persons.  They are suitable for an informal meeting for business or discussion forums.  Adjoining each suite are two bedrooms, all with work/study areas, private baths, and other amenities. 

Overnight accommodations are limited to the four bedrooms, each with two double beds.  However, the two suites could accommodate additional persons with the use of a sofa sleeper.

 

Patio is available for the use of meeting participants for relaxation and outdoor, informal social functions.

 

 

If you have been searching for a special meeting place like no other in this area, whether it be for a small group or large gatherings, look no further.  Our fees are reasonable and very competitive.  We invite you to call or come by for a tour of our conference facilities.  We will be glad to set up a time to customize a plan for your special event.
