WBUR CitySpace

WBUR CitySpace is a hireable event venue on Boston University's campus, welcoming organisers planning business meetings, conferences, receptions, birthday celebrations, mitzvahs and other private or corporate gatherings. Its adaptable spaces can accommodate groups of around 25 to 275, with layouts arranged for theatre-style presentations, banquet seating, dancing, a stage or a more open reception format.

The venue combines a main theatre with a separate lobby and reception area, a green room and a catering kitchen. Built-in audiovisual and lighting facilities support presentations, talks, screenings, performances and recorded or streamed programmes, so organisers can plan a production without sourcing all the core technical equipment separately. The on-site recording facilities can also be used for podcasts, lectures and filmed presentations, with or without a live audience.

Food and drink arrangements can be made through the venue's in-house catering service, or organisers may work with an eligible external caterer. The venue team can also help connect planners with preferred suppliers for furniture, linen, flowers, photography, decor and staffing. This makes CitySpace suitable for events that need more than a room, while allowing planners to shape the details around their programme and audience.

Located on Commonwealth Avenue, CitySpace is close to the Green Line and offers nearby parking options. Organisers can arrange a site visit or request a quote to discuss the layout, technical requirements and services for their event. The venue is designed to support both straightforward meetings and larger gatherings that combine presentations, hospitality and social time.
