Dahod Family Alumni Center at the Castle

The Dahod Family Alumni Center at the Castle offers event organisers a distinctive historic setting on Boston University’s campus. Built as a Tudor Revival mansion, the building pairs period character with several inviting rooms for celebrations and receptions. Its event spaces include the Great Hall, Music Room, Library and Dining Room, with an outdoor terrace and patio available in summer when the weather allows. The venue is well suited to weddings, milestone celebrations, corporate retreats and other gatherings where an atmospheric setting is part of the occasion.

The first floor is booked as a group, giving organisers access to its collection of rooms rather than a single standalone hall. The maximum reception capacity is 125 guests with limited seating. For seated dinners, the stated capacity is up to 64, while buffet arrangements can accommodate up to 40. Existing tables and chairs must remain in the building, so event layouts need to work with the furnishings already provided. The terrace offers an additional outdoor option when conditions permit.

The Castle’s event use is focused on receptions and meals, including served and buffet formats. Lectures and other event types are not permitted in the space. Audio-visual support can be arranged by requesting a university technician. The attached Leventhal Center provides the accessible route into the first-floor event spaces. Boston University’s events team can help organisers enquire about availability and the practical requirements for hosting an event at this memorable campus venue.
