On Thursday, June 3, 2021, Renetta, Germaine, and Robbie went to the International Center to take photos to provide you with a visual of the venue. We were very pleased with the walk-through! We chose the time of day that would match our retreat so that we could estimate needs set-up in shaded areas.

We will be in the multi-purpose room on the first floor, which has lots of space. The best features are the retractable doors! The retractable doors will provide us with the unique opportunity to have some seating indoors, and some seating outdoors, with the doors remaining open throughout. In addition, the building air system will be running to provide the maximum amount of ventilation. In this way, we will have both the air exchange and cooling system, as well as the large open doors (these are larger than garage doors --- think of them as moveable, retractable walls.) In addition, we will be able to have some seating under the pergola, which provides shade. 

We will have masks, hand sanitizer, water, and food available outdoors. The restrooms are within a few steps of the multi-purpose room.

The International House is across from the field, and near the Cowell Building. There is plenty of parking available, and space for more than 100 inside, not to mention space available outside. The tables will be set up according to the campus’ rules for physical distancing. You will have a choice regarding where you want to sit, and how you want to engage.

We’re looking forward to a great time!
