The Learning & Innovation Center does not possess an ABC license. Should you wish to serve alcohol at your event/meeting, it is your responsibility to contract with a local caterer that has an ABC license or secure your own one-time license through the Virginia ABC Commission. We require a copy of the ABC license at least five days before the scheduled event/meeting.
