Rooms and Equipment Available for External Events

Meridian Hall

The Meridian Hall is the largest event room at the Collegium Helveticum, located on the ground floor. Depending on the setup of the podium, the room can host up to 50 people (Option 1) or up to 70 people (Option 2). With its wood paneling and vaulted ceilings, the historic Meridian Hall has a unique charm.

The room is equipped with a podium, a ceiling-mounted projector, a retractable screen, and is usually set up in a traditional lecture-style seating layout. Additionally, the space is fitted with “Audio-Web-Conference” technology, allowing for live audio and screen-presentation broadcasts. This makes the Meridian Hall best suited for formats such as lectures, panel discussions, film screenings, or concerts.

Rudolf Wolf Room

Located on the ground floor, the Rudolf Wolf Room is the second-largest event space at the Collegium Helveticum and can host up to 20 people. A large wooden table is placed in the middle of the room, surrounded by 16 antique chairs. The Rudolf Wolf Room provides a fixed projector and screen as well as a movable blackboard and white-board partition walls. On top of this, “Meeting OWL Pro” technology can be requested in advance, which allows for fully hybrid events. The Rudolf Wolf Room is thus ideal for more conversational and interactive formats such as workshops, discussion groups, smaller lectures, or conferences.

The Rudolf Wolf Room together with the Collegium’s grand Entrance Hall (see below) is generally used to host receptions of up to 50 people (if used in combination with the adjacent Entrance Hall).

Catering in Entrance Hall/Rudolf Wolf Room

The Collegium’s grand Entrance Hall is generally used in combination with the adjacent Rudolf Wolf Room (see above) to host receptions of up to 50 people. If only the Entrance Hall is used for receptions, a maximum of 30 people can be hosted. The display cabinets are assigned to the ETH Library and cannot be used by the Collegium Helveticum or its fellows.
