RILEY'S CONFERENCE CENTER TO UNDERGO CHANGES
Fort Riley's Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation is scheduled to begin a conversion project of Riley's Conference Center, 446 Seitz Drive, this summer to a multi-functional recreation center facility.
With the completion of these renovations, Riley's Conference Center's services will better support the community. Mr. David Roudybush, director of Fort Riley Family & MWR, explains "the goal is to provide a space that enhances the quality of life for our families and still provides a venue for meetings and unit functions." Once the conversion is complete, the Recreation Center will remain the primary location for Town Hall meetings, Victory Welcome briefs and hosting large venues such as the Victory Banquet.
