Pacific University: Conferences & Events

Taylor Meade Performing Arts Center

Located 23 miles west of Portland and within an hour's drive to the Oregon Coast, Pacific University sits in the heart of Oregon's famed countryside. Set amidst towering firs and lush rolling hills, Pacific University offers the perfect chance to "get away from it all."

While you are in the area, consider visiting a few of our local wineries, home to Oregon's famous Pinot Noir or sip saké in North America's only Japanese owned sakery. How about a walk through Jackson Bottom bird sanctuary or Fern Hill wetlands, or even a day trip to the Tillamook Cheese Factory and the scenic Oregon coast? If you're in the mood for something more urban, we have that too. Just hop on the award winning MAX light rail for a day of world-class (and tax-free) shopping in beautiful downtown Portland.

Our campus facilities include classrooms, residence halls, conference rooms, lecture space, "smart rooms," a large multi-purpose room and a 400 seat recital hall. On-site catering is provided by Aramark Food Service. You may contact Aramark directly at (503)352-2241 or catering@pacificu.edu.

To reserve space on campus individuals or groups should contact the Office of Conferences and Events at (503)352-2111 or email conferences@pacificu.edu.

At Pacific University, we are committed to making your event as successful as possible. Our professional staff will assist you throughout the planning process.
