Through its staff and The Office of Campus Activities, The Lair provides social, cultural
and recreational programming aiming to make leisure time a cooperative factor with
study.
The Lair, located in lower Deneen Center, houses a game room and dining area which
features (2) 37" LCD Screens and (2) 58" Plasma Screens - all with satellite television
channels and (2) 27" televisions with cable television. This is a great place to
catch the big game, keep up with your fantasy sports games, or watch your favorite
show with your friends!
Commuter students have also found The Lair to be a great place to hang out between
classes. The available couches, tables and chairs and wireless internet allow you
to rest and relax or work on projects solo or with classmates. Other amenities in
The Lair include drink vending machines, a pay phone, microwave, change machine, restrooms,
ATM machine, and free popcorn!
Come to the Lair for live music and entertainment and activities! The Campus Activities
Board’s offices are located in The Lair. They host a number of events where you can
show off your talents in an open mic format or watch local or nationally touring musicians.
When the weather is warm, acoustic concerts may be held in the Pit, just outside the
Lair.
Want to catch a movie? Campus Activities Board shows new movie releases in the Lair through the academic year. Bingo Nights, karaoke
events, video game tournaments and other fun events planned by Registered Student
