How many attendees are you expecting?  You can probably get a
decent-sized area set up during that time period, but the evenings are
going to be more of a challenge.

Yes.

Weekday monings/days are generally pretty empty, AFAIK.  The evenings
we're likely to run into space constraints.

It might be possible to use the main room during the day, and then
retire to one of the classrooms during the evening.  Even so space may
be a problem ... perhaps some of the time could be scheduled elsewhere?
Sandbox Suites, The Summit, or Parisoma might be able to host some of
the event.
