Southern Company Multicultural Lounge
The Southern Company Multicultural Lounge aims to create an open and reservable lounge for the Georgia Tech Community while supporting the various programs of student organizations and campus programs. This customizable space provides a relaxed setting for studying and events. It is also located close to the Walter G. Ehmer (Atlantic) Theater and can be utilized for receptions following performances, speakers, or movie events happening in the Walter G. Ehmer Theater.
- The Southern Company Multicultural Lounge is designated as a Special Use Space and adheres to the procedures and guidelines set for such spaces in the Student and Campus Event Centers' reservable areas. This includes requirements such as reserving the space through GT Events at least 3 weeks before the event and not using it for recurring meetings.
- The capacity of the lounge is 50 seated.
- Resources available:
- Kitchenette (Sink, catering fridge, counterspace)
- A/V equipment available, additional equipment can be requested
- Up to 3 additional 6 ft tables for catering can be requested
Staffed Hours
Sunday-Saturday: 10am-9pm
Groups are responsible for restoring the lounge to its original condition upon the conclusion of their event. Failure to restore the lounge to its original condition can impact the future of the group’s reservation privileges. Cleaning fees will be assessed in collaboration with our custodial staff for any excessive clean-up requiring more cleaning than usual.
All property of the Southern Company Multicultural Lounge must remain within the lounge. Property includes tables, chairs, and audio/video equipment. General rule of thumb: if you or your group does not own the item in question, then it cannot be removed from the lounge.
Furniture such as tables and chairs may be used and rearranged within the lounge for meetings and events, but the furniture must be returned to its original location immediately following the meeting or event.
Furniture in the lounge includes: 2 long rectangular tables with 6 chairs each, 3 small tables with 2 chairs each, and 5 round tables with 4 chairs each
Lounge is reserved as is. Up to 3 additional 6-foot tables can be requested for reservations with catering orders. Please indicate if you will need additional tables in your request.
