Stratton Student Center (W20)
Below are descriptions of Student Center facilities presented by floor.
Second Floor
Lobdell Dining Hall (W20-208)
This facility is available Monday through Friday after 6:00 PM and Saturday and Sunday all day. It is generally used for parties, dances, movies, and banquets. If Lobdell is not reserved, the Lobdell balconies can be reserved separately (see their description under the Third Floor section). This room is equipped with a sound system, projector, and screen. Student groups are required to reset the room to its dining configuration after their events; a diagram is posted in Lobdell, and a CAC manager can provide a copy of the diagram if needed. If the reset is not done, a fee of $250.00 will be charged to the student group's account.
Sala de Puerto Rico (W20-202)
This is a multipurpose room with a laminate floor ideal for events such as parties, dances, large banquets, receptions, career fairs, lectures, and limited theatrical productions. This room is equipped with a pipe grid that can be used to hang theatrical lighting, small scale audio systems, drape, projection screens or light weight banners.
West Lounge (W20-201)
West Lounge has a laminate floor and double doors which lead into the Sala de Puerto Rico; therefore, it is often used to support large functions in the Sala (e.g. as a coat room or dressing room). It is also available to be used separately for luncheons, receptions, rehearsals, and meetings. West Lounge is equipped with a manually pulled projection screen.
Third Floor
Twenty Chimneys (W20-306)
and Mezzanine Lounge (W20-307)
These rooms are virtually identical and located across the hall from one another. Each is ideal for banquets, meetings, and lectures and may be used together and/or in conjunction with the Stratton Balcony for an effective workshop series or small conference site. Because these rooms are carpeted, no dancing is permitted. Twenty Chimneys is also adjacent to the South Lobdell Balcony which can sometimes be used in conjunction with a large event. Each room is equipped with a manually pulled projection screen.
Stratton Balcony
This is the open lounge area located between Twenty Chimneys and the Mezzanine Lounge. It can be reserved in conjunction with an event in either Twenty Chimneys or the Mezzanine Lounge. It is ideal for registration, buffet setups, coffee service, and receptions. No alcohol is permitted. When not in use general public seating/café tables & chairs are available.
Private Dining Rooms #1 (W20-301)
and #2 (W20-302) (PDRs)
Each room is appropriate for small meetings and small dining functions. Only PDR 2 has a manually pulled projection screen, and both rooms have whiteboards. In addition, there is a collapsible wall between these two rooms which can be opened to accommodate larger events. Used together as one room, PDRs 1 &2 are ideal for meetings, lectures, and receptions. They can also be used as a support room for large events in Twenty Chimneys, the Mezzanine Lounge, and Lobdell. Because the rooms are carpeted, no dancing is permitted.
Private Dining Room #3 (W20-303)
This room has a permanent boardroom style setup consisting of one large conference table with 18 chairs around it. The room also has a screen and a whiteboard.
Fourth Floor

There is no audio-visual system in the room. Dancing is the only activity that is allowed in the space. Furniture cannot be used in this room, as it damages the floor. No food or beverage is allowed in the space.
Multipurpose 401 (W20-401)
This room is a multi-use room with a tile floor. This room has special rolling furniture that is only meant to be used in the space and is stored in the space as well. This furniture cannot be taken into the adjacent dance studios, as it would damage the floors. There is no audio-visual system in the room. Activities for this room would include lectures and panels. Events can have food and beverage. Alcohol is not permitted.
