Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College

Ariens Atrium at the Jeanne Knoerle Sports and Recreation Center offers event organisers a flexible setting within the historic Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College campus in western Indiana. The venue is suited to organisers seeking a distinctive location for conferences, weddings, retreats, business meetings, social functions and community events.

The wider campus combines traditional architecture, landscaped grounds and modern event facilities, creating options for both formal indoor occasions and relaxed outdoor gatherings. Event planners can explore a range of spaces across the campus, including reception rooms, ballrooms, auditoriums, parlours, gardens and outdoor areas. This variety makes it possible to plan anything from a small meeting or private gathering to a larger presentation, banquet, conference or celebration.

The Knoerle Center provides a contemporary sports and recreation setting, with the Ariens Atrium serving as an attractive gathering point for receptions, presentations, registration areas and social occasions. Other campus facilities include the McMahon Ballroom, Harvey Auditorium, Guerin Rotunda, Sunken Gardens and the Margaret “Peggy” Kelly Deputy Parlor, giving organisers scope to build an event around the right atmosphere and capacity.

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College also provides catering through its dining services, helping planners coordinate food and hospitality alongside their venue booking. The peaceful wooded surroundings and spacious campus offer a memorable alternative to conventional hotel or conference venues, while the location remains accessible from Terre Haute and the wider Wabash Valley. Ariens Atrium and the surrounding college facilities are a strong choice for organisers looking for an adaptable event venue with character, campus amenities and multiple room formats.
