Gutman Conference Center Renovation

(May 2018–May 2019)

Gutman Conference Center Planned Entry Space

Renovation of the Gutman Conference Center

  • It increases event space by 4300 square feet and increases capacity from 300 to 450 seats, with a maximum capacity of 600 people.
  • Improves the sense of anticipation for participants attending a conference at Gutman.
  • Creates a new professional-quality space that is highly flexible and can serve as the epicenter of a convening at HGSE.

The new space will allow us to:

  • Better serve larger conferences as well as multiple smaller conferences
  • Support increased enrollment in professional education programs
  • Bring more experts and practitioners to our conversations
  • Allow HGSE to capture and produce online content from conferences that can be shared with the sector, increasing the impact of convenings and events
  • Provide an overall optimal participant experience consistent with the world-class teaching and expertise of HGSE faculty and programs
