If you have never considered holding a meeting or conference on the PSU campus—reconsider. University Place, the former DoubleTree Hotel located at SW Fourth and Lincoln, is now open for business. And its business includes overnight stays, daily restaurant meals, and educational meetings and conferences.

Earlier this year the University purchased the hotel property with its 235 rooms, dining room, kitchen, 8,000 square feet of conference space, and 230 parking spaces.

Groups as small as five or as large as 400 can book space in University Place's meeting and banquet rooms. The facility is staffed with professional conference personnel, including A/V technicians. The restaurant, University Place Grill, is open to the public for all meals, including an express breakfast buffet.

University Place also includes a business service center with a copier, fax machines, and Internet access; University Market Gift and Coffee Shop; a 24-hour fitness room; seasonal heated pool; and coin-operated guest laundry. PSU plans to provide shuttle service between University Place and the main campus.
