Located in the Olmsted Student Center, Parents Hall is a large room that can be divided by an air wall reducing capacity to 296 or 371. The space has been used for individual candidate events, all-day media events, and caucus night celebrations. The venue has also been used for events with U.S. Secret Service-protected candidates. The Student Center, on the same level, offers a series of four conference rooms separated by airwalls that can be configured for up to 120 people. These subdivided spaces can be used as green rooms with direct, hidden access to Parents Hall.
