Conference Room Reservations
The Memorial Union opened in 1953 to administer to the social, cultural and recreational needs of the University Community. Each conference room was made possible as a gift by several donors. Their generosity has provided us with a place where the past and the present can meet in timeless triumph.

- Bangor Room – Room 232:*† This room was a gift of citizens and business concerns of Bangor. It is the largest of the meeting rooms.
