Currently, you have the best conditions.
I think it depends mostly on a team's luck, though. Our school has no vacant and usable rooms. There's one under our courtyard (it actually used to be a firing range) but it's literally swamped with plants growing in there. There's also one below the auditorium but that has no electricity. However, if a team can net enough money from sponsors I guess they can rent space from local unused warehouses (which our community has none).
