Hess Recreation Center & MBS Tabling
Opened in 1970, in the Moore, Bartlett, Skarland Complex, the Hess Recreation Center was originally designed as a dining hall and called the Harriet and Luther Hess Dining Commons. It currently serves as a gathering area for social events, conferences, training sessions, and many other events. Furthermore, Hess Commons is a connection point between Moore, Bartlett, and Skarland Halls, and groups often find tabling in this area as a useful way to connect with others.

Event Planning Set UpWe have 2 main spaces for use in the Hess Rec, as well as tabling options within the Hess Commons (MBS Lobby). The Hess Rec Conference Room seats 12 individuals at the table or up to 20 individuals in the room. The main Hess Rec Center has a seating area that can house up to 200 people seated or up to 400 standing for dances or special occasions. The main auditorium has staging, chairs, and customizable layouts to best suit your event needs. Tabling is available to individuals and registered student organizations up to two times per semester.
