Donald W. Reynolds Center for Enterprise Development: See You Around Campus

Each year, programs housed in the 41,000 square foot Donald W. Reynolds Center for Enterprise Development serve more than 8,500 students, members of the university community, and state and regional constituents.

The full-service event facility, adjacent to the Sam M. Walton College of Business on the University of Arkansas campus, is available to the public for meetings, conferences, workshops, lectures, receptions, and other events.

Through state-of-the-art technology, the Reynolds Center enables the Walton College to deliver programs throughout the state and region through distance education. Other features available for special events, distance learning, and outreach program training include a 300-seat auditorium, technology mediated learning classrooms, seminar rooms, multi-purpose areas, and a multimedia training classroom.

Guests interested in planning an event at the Reynolds Center are encouraged to visit the facility at 145 North Buchanan in Fayetteville. “We want to show off our world-class facility and how it can generously accommodate various types of meetings and conferences,” says Theres Stiefer, director of the Center for Management and Executive Education, which manages the Reynolds Center.

Location of the Reynolds Center makes the facility especially appealing to those looking for a professional atmosphere while retaining the uniqueness of being on campus. “Our guests like being able to interact with students and many really enjoy coming back to the campus where they earned their degrees,” says Theres.
