Items We Rent

Equipment and Decor to Enhance Your Events

To accommodate simultaneous and complex events, the McNamara Alumni Center maintains a large inventory of standard furniture and equipment. Many of these items are included with room rental and are listed on each room’s webpage under the Features section.
