Spaces

A - The Senate Chamber Representation

The heart and soul of the Institute is our breathtaking full-scale representation of the U.S. Senate Chamber in Washington. This majestic space recreates the real Chamber in stunning detail, from the ornate wall decorations to the rich oak wood desks, made by a New England master craftsman. The sense of history in the Chamber is enhanced with state of the art technology.

B - The Lobby Area

6,400 square foot lobby area, the perfect spot to host 800 people for a reception or 300 people for a seated meal. The sleek design makes for a perfect backdrop for an elegant dinner or cocktail reception.

C - The Surround

The Institute features dynamic programming through the Chamber Surround exhibit space: an interactive, multi-media space representing the history, role, leaders, and significant accomplishments of the U.S. Senate. As visitors move through the space they engage with wall-sized, high-resolution media in which the story of the Senate is presented in a series of distinct exhibit areas, with content that is updated through real-time data streams.

D - The Studios

The Institute features three 1,400-square-foot classrooms that can be further divided into smaller spaces. These rooms can be used to hold workshops, breakout sessions, or simply for smaller gatherings. Each of these spaces can be set up in conference room-style that seats 20, classroom-style for 50, or auditorium-style with 98 seats.
