It offers an intimate setting for smaller gatherings, featuring preserved elements like an oil painting of Thea Koerner, extensive book collections, and a marbled fireplace mantel. Its north and south balconies provide exceptional aerial campus views, making it an ideal cozy small event.
Once home to philanthropist Leon J. Koerner, The Penthouse has preserved historical elements. North and south balconies offer campus views, making it an ideal setting for small gatherings. It features art and a fireplace.
