Welcome to the Wade Park Community Engagement Center!

Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) welcomes organizations (both CWRU and non-CWRU affiliated) to request the use of spaces at the Wade Park Community Engagement Center for collaborative and/or instructional purposes. Please refer to this document about booking requirements & terms.

The Wade Park CEC, located at 11310 Wade Park Ave., Cleveland, OH 44106, has three main meeting spaces and two auxiliary spaces that may be reserved at NO COST.

Meeting spaces on the first floor will be tentatively available on weekdays from 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM and Saturdays from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Any requests outside of these times will be considered on an individual basis. Note: We are unable to accommodate events on days when the university is closed for holidays or other unforeseen reasons (e.g. weather events). The MAXIMUM CAPACITY allowed by law inside the building is 71 people, so please be aware of this when planning. Terms and a reservation structure for outdoor space reservations have not yet been determined, but you are welcome to reach out to our office regarding any suggestions or ideas for an outdoor event on the grounds.

These are the spaces available to reserve:

Community Room (max. capacity 70 for reception, 55 for presentation, & 30 for conference setups) is a flexible space that includes a projector and screen, dynamic sound, movable furniture, and lots of natural light.

Layout options (all tables/chairs are easily movable and the spaces and furniture are designed to accommodate flexible setups):  

Meeting Room 1 (max. capacity 12) is for intimate gatherings, planning meetings, or group work space. This room is equipped with an integrated computer/smartTV monitor and teleconferencing capabilities. The same community room setups may be used, but will have much more limited capacity.

Meeting Room 2 (max. capacity 5) is intended for remote conferencing or small meetings. This meeting room is perfect for tutoring sessions, confidential telehealth access, or remote interviews. This room is equipped with an integrated computer/smartTV monitor and teleconferencing capabilities. The layout of this room is fixed.

Add-On Spaces: There is an adjoining Greeting Room that can be used to accommodate overflow or be used as a setup for meals or a check-in location. There is a couch, coffee table, and several arm chairs, but the furniture here is movable. There is also a Kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator, sink, dishwasher, microwave, and basic/limited utensils. Tables may be moved into this area to create a separate buffet or food preparation space.

We ask that requests are made at least one week prior to the requested reservation time to ensure we are properly staffed and our campus partners are notified. You will receive an automated email at the time of your booking acknowledging the receipt of your request. An emailed confirmation should be expected within 2 business days. Be sure to check spam folders. If you have not received a confirmation after that time, please contact our office at (216) 368-1723 or at communityrelations@case.edu. 

*PLEASE REMEMBER: Your requested booking date and time is not confirmed until you receive a confirmation email.
