Spaces
PERKINS STUDENT CENTER
Perkins is the University of Delaware’s original student union and the larger of our two USC facilities. Perkins is home to the West and East lounges, the versatile Rodney Room, Bacchus theater and a diverse collection of intimate meeting spaces.
Perkins features a reservable front and back patio, the artificial turf field Harrington Beach, and small-to-medium meeting spaces throughout the lower level, first floor, second floor and annex as well as the Rodney Room.
The West Lounge is an attractive and spirited space with a full wall of glass windows overlooking academy street. Flexible furnishings can be rearranged to create rows or groups of seating, or can be cleared for more formal setups. This space features a built-in stage with professional lighting, projection, and a high quality sound system.
The Bacchus Theater is a favorite for intimate performances from UD’s improv and theater groups. The room has no fixed seating, so it can be set with tables and chairs, or left empty to match the function of the event. A standard lecture style is shown.
015R is one of Perkins’ meeting rooms, situated on the lower level amid the bustling Registered Student Organization community. With permanent seating for 12, a whiteboard and a brand new digital projector, 015R is the perfect space for meetings and brainstorming sessions.
The Ewing Room is located near the parking garage entrance to the building, and is convenient when inviting guests who will be driving in to campus. The room is well-suited for groups of 40-80, and has projection available for rental. A classroom style setup is pictured.
