The Crimson Student Lounge provides a relaxing place to study and unwind.

When the Union opened its doors in January of 1957, one of the central features of the building was a spacious Student Lounge, complete with a giant fireplace, comfortable furniture, a quiet place to study or relax, and a listening room. Ten or so years later, the building needed more space and the student lounge was partitioned off to make room for the Women’s Resource Center.

Now after nearly 4 decades, the Student Lounge is back! The lounge space has been restored as the new Crimson Student Lounge.

An exciting lounge feature is the large screen TV with satellite service for over 100 international broadcast stations so international students can get news from their native countries in their native languages and students studying a foreign language can hear news broadcasts in the language they’re studying.
