Use of the Institute’s Conference Facilities
Description of Conference Facilities
Conference facilities are available to State University groups, as well as other educational, government, and not-for-profit organizations, for a modest rental fee. The Rockefeller Institute is an elegant setting for a reception, conference, training session or meeting. The second floor, which is ideally suited for conferences and seminars, has four showcase meeting rooms, ranging from small and intimate to spacious, all with distinctive architectural features. Each room offers an ornamental marble fireplace and recessed doors, which may be opened to make ideal space for a reception or
closed into separate rooms for meetings or smaller gatherings. The Georgian Ballroom includes Flemish-style leaded windows overlooking Washington Park. The French Parlor is elegantly styled in the manner of Louis XVI. The Jacobean Dining Room's paneling accents artistic stained-glass windows. Four lunette wall murals highlight the Music Room, furnished with comfortable couches and chairs.
Parking is available on State Street and in Washington Park subject to City of Albany parking regulations.
Smoking is not permitted in the building.
