Memorial Union lounges

The Memorial Union has several lounges throughout the facility, most known is the Scoular Study located on the main level.

Scoular Lounge

Scoular Lounge named after the Memorial Union’s first director, Cecilia Scoular, is a popular place for students and staff to gather.  Boasting views of Cady Mall, large windows, high backed chairs, and a fireplace providing a nice glow from November to March, this area continues to provide a serene space for rest, relaxation, and collaboration. 

Lower Level West Lounge

Located just west of our Lower Level Dining Facilities, the Lower Level West Lounge is sprinkled with high top tables, dining tables, and dining booths. This lounge is the preferred place for students, staff, and faculty to enjoy their meals at the Memorial Union. The area also houses two of our meeting room spaces, which are available to book through Event and Meeting Services.  On the east side of the lounge, you will find vending machines, microwaves, and private lactation rooms for nursing mothers as well as more relaxed seating options.
