About the Essex Room All
The Essex Room All combines Essex West 231, Essex Central 232, and Essex East 233 into one continuous event space. With the movable airwalls open, the room becomes the Paul Robeson Campus Center's premier large-scale event space for conferences, banquets, lectures, performances, ceremonies, and signature university programs requiring maximum capacity and flexible staging.
What to Know Before You Book
Reserving Essex Room All includes Essex West 231, Essex Central 232, and Essex East 233 as one continuous event space. Because all three sections function as a single room during the reservation, the space cannot be reconfigured into smaller sections once confirmed.
Large events may require additional staffing, security, or technical support depending on attendance, event format, and production needs.
