While the centerpiece of student veteran life on campus, the National Veterans Resource Center (NVRC) also serves as a hub for all our students as well as a welcoming space for public and private events. Spearheaded by a transformational gift from Dan ’68 and Gayle D’Aniello, the NVRC represents an unprecedented commitment by Syracuse University to cultivate and lead innovative academic, government, and community collaborations positioned to empower those who have served in defense of the nation.

Take a virtual tour.

A multi-use 115,000 square foot LEED-certified facility featuring 3,700 square feet in event space, the largest fixed seat auditorium on campus (need to check this language) with a multimedia center, various classroom space, student research facilities and study lounges – all designed to be the most ADA compliant and accessible building on campus to date.

Rental fees have been established to help offset costs for basic wear and tear, room maintenance, furniture, carpeting and equipment, heating/air conditioning, etc.

Room reservations will not be approved or confirmed without an SU departmental ID from the event sponsor. Non-SU events will be billed by invoice.

SU Departmental ID’s should be submitted to the NVRC sponsor with whom you are working to coordinate your event.

Any additional costs for security, maintenance, technology, catering, and clean-up will be the responsibility of the event sponsor and will be directly billed to the sponsoring department or organization.
