On-Campus Housing
Campus accommodations are available from late May through July in our residence hall complexes on campus. Residence hall floor plans range from traditional hall-bath layout to the more modern cluster or suite-bath layout and apartment style.
Sleeping Rooms
Most sleeping rooms in the residence halls are double occupancy, although there are a limited number of single occupancy rooms. Each campus room includes a twin-size bed, desk, chair, dresser, and closet for each occupant.
Telecommunications
Wireless access can be arranged through Conference Services.
Housekeeping
Housekeeping is provided in common areas only (hall baths, common lounges). Our staff of housekeepers will not enter occupied sleeping rooms or apartments unless special arrangements are made in advance.
Linens
Linen packages are available and include bed linens: pillow, pillowcase, sheets, blanket, towels, and washcloths.
Off-Campus Housing
William & Mary is a residential campus. As such, housing is not available on campus during the academic year (August through mid-May). Since we all know that conferences and events still happen year round, we have another popular option: stay off campus!
We have relationships with many local hotels. Your group may even be eligible for special contract rates at local hotels. Remember, just because you’re staying off campus, doesn’t mean that you can’t still do part of your program on campus! We are happy to arrange for catered events, meeting space, tour group meals, and recreational space even if your lodging is off-campus.
While the summer months (late May - early August) provide the most flexibility for meeting on campus, limited space is available during the academic year.
Catering
Cafeteria-style Dining
Our summer attendees can enjoy cafeteria-style meals with "unlimited seconds" in one of our dining halls. The dining hall offers an informal atmosphere that allows your attendees the opportunity to network and enjoy each other's company. Learn more about our all-you-care-to-eat Dining facilities.
Exceptional Catering
William and Mary's Dining Services has its own extraordinary catering division. From coffee breaks to black-tie events, our Catering Services can accommodate your needs. Relax and let Conference Services coordinate your event catering.
Transportation
Conference & Event Services can coordinate your transportation needs, whether for:
- a shuttle loop around campus

Event Entertainment

Let's think outside of the box...

We can arrange an array of entertainment ideas that will give your conference attendees something to remember!

Publications & Mailings
Conference & Event Services can assist with the development of brochures, reports, and other conference-related publications.
While use of the College's name for any purpose other than location identification is strictly prohibited, we can work with you to gain the appropriate approval for use of the William & Mary logo or other such visual identity symbols necessary for your promotional materials.
We can also assist with the distribution of brochures and coordinating bulk mailings of materials as needed.
