The existing McKenna Hall
What is the focus of the McKenna Hall reconstruction?

How many events does McKenna Hall normally host a year?
- During the 2017-2018 year, McKenna Hall hosted 250 academic conferences and events in its meeting space.
Who will the tenants be in the new McKenna Hall?

How much meeting space will be included in the reconstructed McKenna Hall?
- Once completed, the new McKenna Hall will have about 20,000 square feet of meeting space, which will be comparable to the current square footage of meeting room space in McKenna Hall.
