Facilities

The G. M. Frost Research and Information Centre is designed with the environment in mind. With LED lighting, green roofing, and eco-conscious bioswales, this facility is built for a green future. Catering options are available through any vendor, but we recommend using the Univeristy of Guelph Hospitality Services as they offer good food at reasonable prices and know our facility well. Catering must be staged and served inside the room you have booked. If you wish to occupy additional spaces such as the outdoor patio or grounds, please let us know during the booking appointment. Below you will find a list of details in regards to what is included in each room.
