| The TECH Advantage
Michigan Technological University offers a variety of options in setting for your event, from rustic to high-tech. Michigan Tech has the facilities to accommodate a vast range of group sizes from small meeting groups of less than 10 people to groups numbering more than 500. Michigan Tech has its own videoconferencing, satellite uplink and downlink capabilities, and uses advanced technological facilities to improve the efficiency of its service to clients.
Michigan Tech's modern, high-rise dominated campus is approximately one-half mile long, and all buildings are within close proximity. Residence halls and the Memorial Union Building (MUB) are located on the main campus, each offering a variety of banquet and meeting options.
The Ford
Forestry Center, donated to Michigan Tech by Henry Ford, is a great place for a retreat with ample meeting
and banquet space. Originally a working sawmill, the FFC is nestled amongst trees, walking trails, and waterfalls.
The FFC is exceptionally peaceful and conducive to focusing on an
agenda or introspective contemplation.
Michigan
Tech caters to recreational needs, as well, with the 235,000 square foot
Student
Development Complex, featuring an ice arena, multipurpose room,
natatorium, gymnasium, weight room, and racquetball/squash courts, dance
and music rooms and a gymnastics room. The four indoor courts of the Gates
Tennis Center will keep you at the top of your game. Or, tee off at
the challenging 18-hole Portage
Lake Golf Course.
During
the snowy winters, Michigan
Tech offers challenging Alpine Skiing at Mont
Ripley, located just across the Portage Canal from campus. There are also
hundreds of miles of cross-country skiing trails in the area, including
the Tech Trails, owned by Michigan Tech. For those into snowmobiling, the
area's trails are among the best in the Midwest.
C&I will
be with you all the way to help you determine the best fit of your needs
to the available facilities and resources.
