The Office of Campus Environment and the Office of Student Affairs have been busy lately, building out and moving into attractive, functional new spaces. The college recently added two newly renovated, student-centered spaces to our campus map, at 618 South Michigan Avenue and 916 South Wabash Avenue.

At 618 South Michigan Avenue (the former Spertus building), the Learning Studio combines the Writing Center, Science and Math Learning Center, New Student Placement, Conaway Achievement Project, and Supplemental Instruction. In the new Office of Multicultural Affairs, the fourth floor is home to one large multicultural lounge and the offices of African American Cultural Affairs, Asian /Asian American Cultural Affairs, International Student Affairs, LGBTQ Office of Culture and Community, and Latino Cultural Affairs. The new Technology Commons is also in this building.

At 916 South Wabash Avenue, Student Organizations provides a permanent home for the Student Government Association, Residence Hall Association, Student Organizations Council, the Renegades, and the Student Programming Board, with plenty of space for the rest of Columbia’s 60 student organizations to meet.
