Lister Centre

Over the years since Lister Hall was renovated to add a conference centre, this space has been really great at hosting events. I’ve been to everything from social events to full-​fledged academic conferences and many things in between here. The catering is good — on par with many other venues and has improved over the years. The rooms provide a variety of different spaces for breakout sessions and other activities. Windows provide good lighting if it is nice out and the lighting in the rooms is good for multimedia presentations, and many more room set ups. The washrooms are ample though I prefer faucets that stay on for a bit longer for hand washing.
Because this is in the same set of buildings as a University residence, it can be convenient to house people here for summertime conferences as well — during the academic year the residences are too busy for such accomodations to be available however. It is walking distance from the Jubilee Auditorium and the LRT as well as being close to the rest of the University of Alberta campus.
