This is a big room, but it's carpeted, so we're probably not supposed to dance on it. However, we use it for walkthrus a fair bit. It's on the 3rd floor of the student center and we're no allowed to use the back door (that exists onto Lobdell balcony), so it should be a second choice to West Lounge. We don't usually book it, but Mezzanine Lounge is a near identical room across the hall from it. Cancellation deadline is 48 hours in advance.

The Foundry is a community space a few blocks from the Kendall Square T stop. As of 2022, the price for the 1079 square foot dance studio (with "sprung wooden flooring") or the 4256 square foot "Community Hall" for a weekly recurring reservation is $35-40/hr. The room size is comparable to 36-112, while the weekly recurring price is comparable to E15, so either of those choices would probably be better than this one. However, this could be useful if non-MIT space is needed. The one-time non-weekly price is $70-80/hr. There are also several other spaces with various sizes and costs. A sliding scale is available, based on organization operating income. I assume this would be based on MIT operating income, not on Tech Squares operating income. If it is based on Tech Squares operating income, though, the cost would be free. Unfortunately, the venue also closes at 8 PM.
