Other Venues on Campus

PennWest California’s campus environment offers a unique blend of meeting spaces

One of the benefits of working with PennWest California for your next event is the combination of meeting spaces and buildings available on campus. Outside of the PennWest California Convocation Center, the surrounding campus provides greens space for a relaxing walk, exercise and dining facilities, auditoriums, “smart” classrooms and much more.
