Stanford Asian American Activities Center

Facilities

The Asian American Activities Center is a department of Stanford University with a large variety of resources to serve the needs of the Stanford community. The physical space of the A³C includes offices for the professional staff, a lounge which serves as the primary meeting space for Asian American student groups, an expanded ballroom, spacious Couchroom, conference room, and computer cluster that are open to all students. The center also houses an Asian American resource library with reference texts, literature, hard-to-find Asian periodicals, university documents, newspaper clippings, and videos often utilized for coursework research. Only registered Voluntary Student Organizations may reserve space for onetime events or weekly meeting reservations.

Facilities for Reservation

The Asian American Activities Center has the following rooms available for reservation by registered Voluntary Student Organizations (VSOs). Priority is given to groups that affiliate themselves with the Asian American Activities Center by attending the quarterly API Leadership Retreats and also are active subscribers to apileaders@lists.stanford.edu. Groups using the facilities must be registered as a student organization with the Student Activities and Leadership (SAL) office. Each group can have up to 2 hours of reserved space per week in either the couchroom, conference room, or ballroom. One-time events are not included into this 2 hour period.

The Ballroom

The A3C Ballroom provides performance groups with an ideal rehearsal space. The Ballroom has a smooth hardwood floor, a small stage, and chairs.

During the day and on weekends (Monday-Thursday 8AM-5PM, Friday-Sunday 8AM-2AM), Ballroom reservations are administered by Tresidder Meeting Services.

Capacity: 270

PLEASE NOTE! Given that the Ballroom is in such high demand, most reservation hours during the week are booked at the beginning of the year with priority given to building tenants.

Availability: Monday-Thursday from 6PM-12 Midnight

The A³C Couchroom

Directly above the Ballroom, the A³C Couchroom houses comfortable couches that serve as seating for meetings, events, and working students.

With large, comfortable couches, many Asian American student organizations hold events and meetings in the A³C Couchroom.

For those student groups looking for a movie or karaoke night, the Couchroom also has a TV and DVD Player for use.

The couchroom includes a small side room with a wall-length whiteboard, large conference table, and chairs that can be sectioned off by a divider.
