Bracken Library Provides Space for Meetings, Conferences, Receptions, Even Small Weddings

Bracken Library, located at the heart of Ball State’s campus, provides space for a variety of occasions, such as meetings, conferences, receptions, seminars/workshops, musical performances, readings, video conferencing, and even small weddings.

Bracken Library offers state-of-the-art equipment and technology for all types of conferences and meetings such as a sound system, CD player, computer projector, DVD player, high-speed Internet access, overhead projector, podium, slide projector, and TV/VCR. An event can be videotaped or video-cast live from Bracken to an audience anywhere around the globe. Bracken’s Forum Room is an attractive space that accommodates up to 90 persons, and it allows for a wide range of food and beverage options through University Banquet and Catering.

Bracken’s main floor is beautifully tiled and perfect for a small wedding ceremony and dance floor. The area is easy to decorate and the impressive spiral staircase makes for a dramatic entrance by the bride. Ceremonial events such as this would be best scheduled for Friday and Saturday evenings when Bracken closes early.

Convenient parking is available at the Emens parking structure which is located behind Bracken Library.
