The Ivy Room seats 120 to 140 guests depending on setup, while the Dining Room can be paired with the Ivy Room for groups of around 150.

GEHC is managed through a partnership among the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center Foundation, the University of Georgia, the Gwinnett County Board of Education, and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners.
