The Hub
Located in 103 Reese Phifer, this space is perfect for student organization meetings, class project collaboration or personal study. The conference room seats 10 and is equipped with Apple TV connectivity on the extra-large, high definition monitor. There is also a collaboration room furnished with white boards for groupthink sessions and brainstorming.
The main room is outfitted with a printer for students to use and with sofas and tables, for catching a break between classes. The Student Executive Council regularly offers refreshments in the student lounge—including a variety of snacks, coffee and energy drinks during their monthly events.
Space in the collaboration room and the conference area is limited and should be reserved ahead of time to secure spots. To reserve any of the spaces in the new student lounge, call Tisch Student Services at 205-348-8599 or send an email to tischstudentserv@ua.edu
