Schapiro Hall Piano Lounge

The beautiful grand piano sounds great in the triangular lounge as you enter Schapiro Hall. The acoustics make it a great location to tickle the ivories. Area residents often enjoy hearing a tune as they stop by the North Area Desk or go to class in Schapiro Hall 101. There is no sign-up list or auditions to worry about. Whether you’re rehearsing for a performance or want to get a Billy Joel sing-along going, this is the spot for you!

Elder Communal Kitchen

Are you into Top Chef, Iron Chef, or Chopped? Then you’ll love the Elder Communal Kitchen, which is available to all North Area residents. North Area residents often use the kitchen for their own dinner parties, birthday celebrations, and more because it can accommodate more people for collaborative cooking than other spaces.

Elder Game Room

If you’re early to meet friends for a meal in the Elder Dining Commons or you’ve finished eating and want to keep hanging out without sitting around, head over to the Elder Game Room to shoot some pool.

Henry Crown Sports Pavilion

Just a short walk from any building in the North Area, Henry Crown has it all: weights; cardio; courts of all kinds; and more. The hours may not be 24/7, but everything you might want for your exercise regimen is available right by your campus home.
