The A³C Couchroom

Directly above the ballroom, the A³C couchroom houses comfortable couches that serve as seating for meetings, events, and working students. The A³C Couchroom is a favorite place for students to come in and rest, chat, hang out, and do homework. With large, comfortable couches and a TV, 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, VCR, DVD player, and stereo 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. To reserve the Couchroom for your meeting/event, please fill out the online facilities form available here.
