Grand Valley State University - Allendale Campus

Alumni House & Visitor Center
The Alumni House & Visitor Center on the north end of the Allendale campus is not only a beautiful manor but also holds significance as a symbol of support and dedication from Grand Valley’s Alumni Association and its supporters. Its availability for use by a wide range of university affiliates, as well as the community for events and meetings, underscores its role as a hub for connection and celebration.
With its capacity to host wedding and social receptions for up to 120 guests, the Alumni House offers a charming setting for such memorable occasions. The solarium and courtyard, described as beautiful, likely provide an elegant backdrop for gatherings, adding a touch of sophistication and ambiance to any event. Such amenities make it an attractive choice for those seeking a distinctive and accommodating venue for their special events.

“Last night our event was amazing our mixer turned birthday party was a hit. Everyone loved the space and the ambiance. The entire staff was amazing. The older generation taught the younger generation how to do the funky four corners and the younger generation taught the older generation how to hustle. Our church will definitely be partnering with GVSU again. Again, thank you so much!!!!”
