Erma Byrd Gallery
Over 150 original works of art, all by women with West Virginia roots, adorn the walls of this remarkable, oval room. Floor to ceiling windows provide a stunning view of the Kanawha River and the West Virginia State Capitol. The gallery is a perfect venue for weddings and other celebrations, and doubles as a high-tech meeting space, with automatic shades, controlled lighting, and a large drop-down screen for video or PowerPoint presentations.

Riggleman Rotunda
A spacious venue in the heart of campus, the rotunda dazzles the eye with its inlaid flooring, colorful murals, and art deco touches. Like the Erma Byrd Gallery, it is oval-shaped, providing easy circulation for large crowds, and looks out on the river and the State Capitol beyond. The adjoining patio makes this the perfect spot for an indoor/outdoor event in seasonable weather.
