Coffee and refreshments, including our famous cinnamon rolls, can be set up in the room when you arrive. Lunch can be enjoyed in our dining hall or delicious, boxed lunches are also available for in-room service or taken to one of our outdoor seating areas.

Taft Campus' peaceful environment lends itself to informal interaction while focusing on the task at hand. Whether you desire to get everyone away from the normal distractions of the office, conduct a brainstorming session, or develop future plans, Taft Campus may be just the place for you.
