We operate off Northeastern's College campus in a pretty small lab.
With somewhere between 80-100 students and mentors, we can't all fit in the build space and lab. Thus, every sub-team breaks up into separate class rooms, sometimes spread out over the campus. Effective communication between these groups relies upon Slack, and thus our mobile devices, may it be a phone or laptop.
