Photo Gallery: Academic Commons Coming Soon

After more than a year of construction, the newly imagined Academic Commons in E. H. Butler Library is gearing up for its grand opening in March. This one-stop source for all students will be home to a variety of services to promote academic success, like the Math Center, the Writing Center, and the Tutoring and Learning Center.

With the IT Help Desk, Student Accessibility Services, the Educational Opportunity Program Academic Center for Excellence, and the Advising Center, the Academic Commons unites helpful tools and services in one location to make navigating campus life a lot easier. And with newly improved study spaces and a Starbucks café, this welcoming, student-friendly gathering place makes group collaborations and study sessions more comfortable and convenient than ever before. Not sure what kind of help to look for? The “Ask Us” desk serves as a quick and easy directory for students to find what they need.
