The WCC Space

Main content start

Welcome to the WCC!

Since the pandemic, our team has been working very hard to shift and restructure our space to better suit the needs of our students and community while also continuing to prioritize the safety, health, and wellbeing of the most marginalized. The Women's Community Center is located at 433 Santa Teresa Street, on the first floor of the Fire Truck House.

More About the WCC Space

Our space is comprised of the following:

  • Main Lounge: Includes two very comfortable sofas and four arm chairs, as well as a coffee table & end tables. We have an additional 40 stackable chairs that can be arranged to meet your needs. 
  • Conference Room: Our conference room seats 16 people around a large conference room table. The room includes a dry erase board. 
  • Library Nook: We have a small library, open to students, and four comfortable chairs. A great space for a small study group, or just a place to get some homework done.

How to Reserve WCC Space

The WCC Main Lounge Space may be reserved by current Stanford students, staff, or faculty for programs, events, meetings, etc. If you are a part of a WVSO or other group on campus looking to reserve the space for usage, you must first complete the WCC Space Usage Training before you can reserve the physical space. 

WCC Calendar

Before you make your reservation request, check the calendars to ensure the space is available:

Guidelines for Reserving WCC Space

  1. If your event is below 30 people, wearing masks in the space is optional. If there are more than 30 people in the WCC Main Lounge for your event, masks are required.
  2. The WCC space is free to the Stanford University community. Per university policy, only Stanford affiliates (students, staff, faculty) may reserve space in the WCC. All who utilize the space are expected to follow the Stanford Fundamental Standard.
  3. WCC events have first priority. Should the center need the space, it reserves the right to cancel a reservation. WCC staff will make every effort to give sufficient notice and relocate the group.
  4. Affiliated Women's Voluntary Student Organizations (WVSOs) receive priority reservations. (Affiliated WVSOs must first complete the WCC Space Usage Training before requesting to use the space. Please stay for more info regarding this training during WCC drop in hours.)
  5. No reservations for events will be taken a quarter ahead unless it is a special event of some kind (e.g., a big speaker is coming and our group wants to do a workshop in the Women's Community Center). If so, please email us directly at wccstaff@gmail.com.
  6. All groups are responsible for cleaning up after their events. This means disposing of all food, box containers, trash, and other items, disinfecting the couches and door handles, sweeping the floors if necessary, and returning furniture to the appropriate locations. Any group who does not sufficiently clean after their event will be charged a cleaning fee.
  7. Groups may not charge an entrance fee for attendance or participation at any event held in the Women's Community Center space. There are other designated areas on campus where you may charge a fee for an event, such as Tresidder Memorial Union. Charging a fee is grounds for forfeiting your reservation.
  8. Events held at the WCC may not be closed. The WCC is a community space, and as such, must be available to all students. In addition, elevator accessibility to the second floor is available through the WCC Main Lounge, and must be available to anyone needing access, even during events.
  9. The WCC space may not be used for overnight stays or storage of personal belongings.
