Trotter Building

The Trotter building is very versatile, although I have only been here for dancing purpose. I have heard once in a while there are arts and crafts show in here as well. If you raise your head and look up, you can see something always hanging from the roof.
The building is definitely spacious, it’s almost the size of a small school gymnasium; and like a school gymnasium, sometimes there are issues with the central air conditioning. It can get to an unbearable state when you have over 70 people in here but the vents were pumping out heating air. I digress.
One side of the building has been dedicated to a fitness center**; sometimes over the dance music I can still hear the clanking of free weights and barbells and other equipments.
Oh yea, the bathroom is a bit spartan and old-​timey.
**Speaking of which, I think I vaguely saw a group class doing cross-​training. Perhaps I should join them right after the dance class to keep up the metabolism burning.

Cool, affordable event space in a growing area of downtown Durham. Unfortunately not much dedicated parking… and spillover will probably use the Motorco/​Fullsteam lot, thought that’s not supposed to be for other businesses.
It’s one open room that could feel a bit warehouse-​y, except they’ve added these great paper lanterns and twinkle lights to the rafters. Just that little touch really adds so much to the space. There are multi-​stall bathrooms too. Windows don’t have built-​in blinds/​curtains, which might cause a sun glare issue for daytime events.
