Right. Not even going to try and give advice, but if you need space away from other people, just ask?
And for the evenings - I can't leave the office open for you all, but I'll make sure the elves have some hot tea handy in the anteroom, so people can warm up when they need to. (Though, really, no one should have to be out that long, and if you older years can't manage warming charms by now, we're all doing something wrong.)
Actually, on your project - do you need space to work? I'd have to adjust the wards a bit (so I'd need to know who you're working with, and get a promise you'd be there yourself), but I could let you have some space in one of the astronomy tower storerooms for a week or two easily enough. There's a couple of old tables in the one just under my classroom.
And that way, you'd not have to worry other people could get in when you weren't there, or have to spend half your time setting up and cleaning up each time you worked on it.
