The Thames Center

The Thames Center is a flexible conference and event facility located on the Wesson Campus of Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Mississippi. It welcomes organisers planning business meetings, training sessions, workshops, seminars, retreats, receptions, banquets, reunions, employee events and private celebrations, including wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners.

The venue is built around a large banquet hall that can be divided into three separate rooms. Depending on the occasion, these spaces can be arranged for banquets, receptions, theatre-style presentations or classroom sessions. Organisers can also make use of a large conference room, two smaller meeting rooms and a computer lab, making the centre suitable for both formal gatherings and practical training programmes.

The Thames Center supports event preparation with a range of useful equipment and services. Available facilities include wireless and high-speed internet, data projectors, laptops, microphones, flip charts, whiteboards, a television and DVD cart, a lectern, risers, registration tables and a piano. The venue team discusses layout and technical requirements in advance so the rooms can be prepared before guests arrive.

Food service is available through the centre’s dining services contractor, with menus quoted according to the type of function and expected attendance. The adjoining full-service kitchen supports catered events, while the patio provides an additional outdoor area for receptions or breaks. The centre is set in a quiet campus environment beside Wolf Hollow Golf Course and is conveniently reached from Interstate 55. Its combination of adaptable rooms, event support and catering options makes it a practical choice for organisers seeking a well-equipped venue in southwest Mississippi.
