The new and improved Panther Place Lounge will have "soft opening" on Monday, February 10, 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). Not all of the furnishings will have arrived by Feb. 10, but we want students to be able to use this space as soon as possible.
The Campus Tickets Booth has been replaced with a new ‘Information Center’ for Student Center West. It will be staffed during high traffic times beginning Monday, February 17.
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.
Furniture designed for community building, eating meals, or otherwise engaging with your fellow Panthers.
The tables have arrived, but the banquet/bench seating has not : (.
An area for microwaves and vending machines (please be patient while vending services stocks inventory and we add a 3rd microwave).
An area designated for studying away from the higher noise level of the collaboration area
These blue accents have just been added to the insets.
Two individual climate-controlled spaces that provide privacy for various activities where seclusion is preferred
There are additional pieces of furniture, e.g. banquet seating to replace the individual chairs at the tables in the collaboration area and more seating to be added in the study zone as well as artwork that will still be added before the grand opening of Panther Place Lounge.
