The lobby in building 13 by the elevators is not as far from the Student Center as Morss Hall, but it has many of the same problems. The temperature is greatly affected by the external weather simply because people are always cutting through the lobby and exiting to the outside. There is no nearby parking for our caller and cuer. At least there are no tables to move. The real problem with Lobby 13 is the acoustics. The lobby echoes in a way the makes it hard to hear what the caller and cuer are saying. We've been in Lobby 13 some in 2014 and have been finding ways to make the acoustics work better. (Comment from Veronica: Lobby 13 seems unpopular enough that we should only choose it over smaller rooms when we know we'll need the space – like during a class.)

 W20-407 and W20-491

These virtually identical rooms are on the fourth floor of the Student Center. We can fit six squares in a pinch, but we are much more comfortable with only four. These are ideal rooms for our smaller dance workshops (squares or rounds). 

...

These are small carpeted rooms located on the third floor of the Student Center between Lobdell and the Coffeehouse. Since they are carpeted, we are not allowed to dance in them, but they are ideal for meetings of officers and committees. We also use them for walkthrus occasionally, but they are not our preferred walkthrus room.

RRA & RRB

These mirror image rooms are located in the basement of Kresge. They're good for up to 4 squares, so while not a good choice for Tuesdays, they're great for smaller groups. 

Classrooms

These are not booked through the CAC. This means they are available during the standard CAC “blackout” periods.

...

This room can comfortably hold four squares, five in a pinch.  36-156, next door, can be reserved as a room to hang out in while not dancing.

DAPER Spaces

When we can't get good CAC spaces, we occasionally use DAPER spaces. Unlike CAC and classroom spaces which we can use for free, we have to pay for these spaces. However, when we can't get CAC spaces, it is sometimes worth it to pay for these spaces rather than use a classroom. These rooms are behind restricted access turnstyles, so we have to submit a list of possible attendees (however, often people are let in when they say they're there for the event, and names aren't checked). 

As of 2016, the prices were T-Club $17.50/hr, MAC court $32.50/hr, and tables are $6 each (not time dependent). 

T-Club Lounge

This space has wood floors that are good for dancing, fits 4 squares comfortably, and maybe fits 6 squares. This costs roughly $80 for a night. If available, this is the best choice for during CAC "blackout" periods. 

MAC Court

This space has track-like material on the ground. It holds 8 squares. It costs roughly $140 for a night.
