There is a room in HH that might be suitable, I think I showed BethLynn 
once before. It's not exactly ideal, not the least because if something 
ECE related came up on a saturday that needed it, we'd probably end up 
getting booted and I haven't been at at ECE long enough to know in 
practice whether that actually happens unexpectedly. I'm not sure of the 
capacity either, but it has a projector and tables and chairs and could 
have extras, or so I'm told and it's new feeling and clean.

Oh and while I'm offering ECE, I have received blessing for penguin in 
our machine room, if that's still wanted.
