Thanks, Kurt. I'll approach them and ask. It doesn't hurt.
Since you are in Chicagoland as well, what other regional sites exist besides the Urbana armory?
I've heard reference to Rantoul, but no idea where/when.
I'm pretty interested in trying out the ball room at the end of Navy Pier - That has to be Cat3. It is normally open on the weekends, people come in and gawk at the space. No fans I could detect, air seems still.
I heard that there was some sort of incident at West Baden - Maybe enough time has passed and that might also become available again?
Regards.

Only once was the air calm and very nice. Most of the times I was there blowers would go on and off. When I asked if the blowers could be shut off I have been told no they can not. If I recall originally the build was designed to have an inflatable roof. Some years later the building was redesign with a self supporting roof.
