Compare this venue side by side

Ekdahl Dining Center, known as Mrs. E’s, is a University of Kansas residence-hall dining facility in Lawrence, adjoining Lewis Residence Hall and serving the Daisy Hill residential community. The KU Places page describes a three-level, food-court-style dining center opened in 1983 and seating about 700 diners; it does not mention weddings, wedding packages, or private event rentals, and gives no rental, capacity-for-events, catering, alcohol, or accessibility terms for outside functions.

Ask the university directly whether this dining hall is available for private event or wedding-related rental at all, since the current page functions as a campus facility profile rather than an event-venue listing.
