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 (1) 46" television with cable.  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, Campus Activities Board may host acoustic concerts or other activities in the Pit, just outside the Lair.

Want to catch a movie?  View classic favorites or 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 Organizations make the Lair an active part of our students lives.

The Lair is also a quiet study area during finals week each semester.
