The first area offers a comfortable lounge space complete with couches, TV, Keurig, a resource book, and free books/notebooks for military-connected students, this area is most commonly used for socials. The second area is our academic space where you will find computers, printers, whiteboards, tables, and chairs, and is often a much quieter area. Lastly, we have a quiet room equipped with a computer, this space can be reserved by students here.
