Hang-out space and study room by day, performance venue and reception space by night, the Ruby Lounge (located in the Rubenstein Arts Center) was designed for Duke’s creative student community. Its features include: a small raised stage, theater-style lighting grid, audio and projection capabilities, a sprung hardwood floor ready for dance, soundproofing, floor-to-ceiling windows that can be blacked-out as needed, and moveable barn doors that can be open or closed to the main lobby depending on the needs of the performance.

Parking: Visitor parking is available for $2/hour in pay-by-space lots in several locations near the Rubenstein Arts Center, including:
