St. Cloud State has plenty of parking options. A 500-space parking ramp is located just west of Atwood Memorial Center. Street parking is allowed on some city streets (restrictions are posted). Check the visitor parking page for more information and directions.
The Conference and Scheduling Office will work with you to establish a time for you to access the room for decorations. Our staff will work with any professional decorator if you choose to hire one.
Candles are allowed, but the flame must be contained in a glass or fireproof container that will collect the wax and be as least as high as the flame.
Decorations must be removed at the end of the event unless special arrangements are made with the Conference and Scheduling Office.
Table cloths and skirting can be requested with any catering order. Other tables such as a gift table(s) can be skirted and covered by request for no additional charge. Our round tables are 60-inches wide and can accommodate 6-8 guests.
Each venue has a detailed description of the available equipment built into the room. There is no additional cost for the use of our built in equipment such as microphones, Internet access, house sound system and dimmable lighting. Access to additional sound, AV, and specialty lighting options is available with a small fee with support from one of our technicians.
Guests are also welcome to bring their own technical equipment or hire a DJ for their event.
Our professional scheduling staff will work with you to schedule and make arrangements for the room setup. The day of the event a Building Manager will be in the building for the entire time. There is an Information Desk attendant stationed on the main level anytime the building is open to help answer questions and direct guests.
The catering staff will also have a catering manager on site. Trained Public Safety officers are available on campus 24/7 to assist with any emergencies.
