Reunion Class and Cluster Tents

Classes and clusters celebrating Reunion have a large outdoor tent designated as their home base for the weekend. These tents are often used for the class or cluster’s Thursday evening Welcome Event.

The tents are located on the grass near the dorms for each class or cluster. If you need mobility or other accommodations, please email reunionhelpdesk@grinnell.edu or call 800-850-1846.

Joe Rosenfield Center (JRC) Courtyard

Tucked in a westward facing U of the Joe Rosenfield Center, near Younker Grove, is the fully paved JRC courtyard. The courtyard can be approached from various paved sidewalks, as well as from within the Marketplace Dining Hall.

Saturday night’s All-Reunion Dinner is served from this courtyard.

The accessible entrances to the buffet are from the 8th Avenue side of the JRC through the doors by JRC 101, or from Mac Field.

The accessible exits from the buffet are either of those – one may turn left from the buffet to exit through the JRC, or turn right to exit towards Mac Field. An attendant will be waiting by the stanchion to let people through to the JRC exit.

Accessible seating is available inside Spencer Grill in the JRC, or on Kington Plaza.

Accessible routes are marked by the blue-dashed lines on the diagram below.
