The central area of our building, it is open to the wide entry hall and connects with the sanctuary through 12-foot wide sliding doors, to the Linus Pauling Hall and The Founders’ Fireside Room through double doors, and to the kitchen through a pass-through. It is full of light and opens to the south terrace through wide sliding doors. Typically it has three large tables on wheels which can be moved as needed. The Gathering Hall is an excellent place for receptions, dining, conferences, meetings, and socializing. When additional space is needed, overflow can expand into the sanctuary Fireside Room, or out to the terrace. See our Building Tour for a quick walk through of spaces.
