Our Young Main Lounge is a traditional ballroom with wood floors - perfect for dancing! Attached to the Young Main Lounge is the Joslin Atrium, a glass atrium with views of our campus quad. Our second reception location is our Hansen Center Court. Remodeled from our original campus gymnasium, the Center Court is a unique space that has the ability to be transformed to suit a wide variety of events.
