A new and improved Panther Place Lounge will open in February 2025 on the 3rd floor of Student Center West near the entrance from Courtland Street (at the beginning of the hallway to the University Bookstore, the under-construction Campus Services office, and Student Center East and the Urban Life Building).
The reconstructed space will include the following:
- A new ‘Information Center’ for Student Center West
- Four ‘Collaboration Stations’ for game playing, group projects, or other collaborative activities to replace the two collaboration stations on the 2nd floor of Student Center East.
- Tables and furniture designed for community building, eating meals, or otherwise engaging with your fellow Panthers
- Two individual climate-controlled spaces that provide privacy for various activities where seclusion is preferred
- Enhanced lighting
- An area designated for studying away from the higher noise level of the collaboration area
- Vending machines
- Microwave ovens
This space is anticipated to be open by the beginning of February. Follow @georgiastatesc on Instagram for details of when the space will be available and a date for a grand opening.
