Thanks to the generous support of Spanish alumna, Loann Crane, students can try out their language skills by watching satellite broadcasts in the languages that they are studying, and participate in many conversation groups. Visitors enjoy live programs such as news, weather, films, and game shows broadcast in over 14 languages.
The Café has a variety of spaces available for events and gatherings ranging from language conversation tables to presentations or performances.
Please visit our Crane Café Events page for information on reserving this space.
Conversation Tables
Conversation tables in the café can be reserved for one-time or weekly use for clubs or classes. The conversation tables are designed for language students to come together and practice their studies through speaking! Groups can also take advantage of the nearby TV screens.
Fireside Chat Area
The Fireside Chat Area can be reserved for small groups to watch something comfortably together and discuss! The large screen is great for a movie, TV show, or concert showing. It can also be used as a presentational space, both wireless and HDMI.
Stage Area
The Stage Area is for events like a musical concert or radio broadcast that require additional audio support.
Courtyard Space
The outdoor courtyard space can be reserved for events for groups big and small! Departments/programs can reserve the courtyard for an Outdoor Movie Night setup!
Please remember that you are responsible for both setup and cleanup.
Event Tables
Through the CLLC, you may reserve long tables for your event. To access our tables, you must visit the CLLC in Hagerty Hall 100 before your event, and you are responsible for bringing the tables back to us afterwards.
