OK, so Josiah Litant just referred us to Pam Tinto.  Hopefully she can help us.

Hi Josh,

Interesting idea! Have you guys spoken with Pam Tinto at all about
this? Storage space for student groups would fall under her purview.
It's a tricky issue, and one that we have for many groups. But maybe
the CLA (Pam's office) could help out. I don't know of anything else
off the bat, because there is so little storage space anywhere. I
would talk to Pam and see what she advises.

Best,
Josiah
