Lakeview Meeting Room renovated and renamed Staughton Hall Lakeview Meeting Room is transforming and will be renamed Staughton Hall. Dr. William Staughton (1770-1829) was a remarkable leader whose career included being the first corresponding secretary of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, formed in 1814. Staughton Hall will provide a modern architecturally themed concert hall with acoustical separation to Pillsbury Hall above. It will hold groups up to 400 with stunning eye-level views to the lake. LED lighting will save energy, while persons with disabilities will be better served by the elevator opening directly into the new lobby, and ADA-compliant restrooms. Phase One will be completed in May 2017 when the room is ready for use. New exterior doors and a new patio will be the focus of Phase Two. 12 | Green Lake Conference Center glcc.org | 13
