What can I do instead of deadlifts?

Hi there, I've recently started a new programme and unfortunately the gym I've been going to is undergoing some rennovations and I'm currently unable to do deadlifts there. I don't know how long the renovations will take.
I'm looking for a (free weight) replacement exercise to do in the meantime.

My routine currently looks like

Monday:
Squats
Bench Pull
Bench Press
Deadlift
Chin Ups
Dips
S/B Crunches
Hanging Leg Raises

Wednesday:
Squats
Bench Pull
Bench Press
Leg Press
Bicep Curls
Bridges
Back Hyperextensions

Friday:
Squats
Bench Pull
Bench Press
Deadlift
Chin Ups
Dips
S/B Crunches
Hanging Leg Raises
 
If you can do squats, can't you do deadlifts?
 
All you need is a bar and a floor. Is the floor space so limited that you can't get a bar from somewhere and set up to deadlift?
 
Floor space is presently very limited.
And because quite a few people just drop the bar rather than lower it to the ground (part of the reason some of the rennovations have to take place), and there aren't currently mats in play because of the lack of floor space, they have simply said 'no deadlifts (or power cleans) while the rennovations are taking place'.

I was confused too, now I understand. How about doing them with dumbbells, is that enough of a variation that it would be allowed?
 
You can do RDLs out of a rack and never touch the floor with the barbell..
