University of Massachusetts Boston
About
UMass Boston rents its waterfront Columbia Point campus to outside groups for meetings, conferences, galas and community programs. Event spaces include modern ballrooms, spacious auditoriums, classrooms, bright atriums and outdoor lawns along Boston Harbor. The campus sits steps from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and the Edward M. Kennedy Institute, with a dedicated MBTA station, and it is only minutes from downtown Boston and Logan International Airport.
The university’s external events team guides clients through space selection and contracting and connects them with essential campus service providers, including an exclusive campus caterer, and dietary menus can be tailored to health needs and allergies. Vendors, businesses and nonprofits can also book high-visibility tables around campus to sell merchandise, sample products or run demonstrations. The campus, home to the city’s public research university, also hosts its own events such as a Family Weekend Fall Fest in the quad.
