The Annex and Photo Gallery areas lie adjacent to the Jefferson Ballroom. They are the perfect areas to host cocktail receptions preceding ballroom events, to serve as event registration areas, or to simply add space and variety to your event.
A New Alumni Hall: In fall 2025, the Alumni Association is excited to begin construction on a new Alumni Hall. To prepare for this project, we are unable to accept building reservations beyond June 30, 2025. Alumni Hall reservations will remain closed through June 30, 2027. More information about this transformational project can be found on the Alumni Hall reservations homepage.
The Annex can serve as a setting for more intimate receptions or dinners. It features slate flooring, a fireplace, a descending screen for presentations and adjustable ceiling and wall lighting. The Annex is included when renting the Ballroom and may be used for a buffet setup or event registration. It may be rented separately from the Ballroom.
The Photo Gallery is an extension of the Annex that also lies adjacent to the Virginia Room. The Photo Gallery features historic photographs and memorabilia of the University and serves as a terrific conversation starter for any event.
