Fishbowl
Located at the center of the science, math, history, and English wings, the Fishbowl is the hub of the Academic Center. Students are often seen convening in this space during passing periods, or getting work done during common time. The area is bright and airy, a welcoming space to gather and study.
Lyndons
A key place for day students to socialize is between the Lyndons. A cool, tucked away spot with grand chairs and smooth tables where many day students, and some boarders, can be found doing homework and talking there. Whether you have only a couple moments between classes or need a place to do a last-minute homework assignment, the Lyndons is a perfect spot in the Academic Building to hang out.
Dining Hall
The most crucial spot at Tabor, where thousands of students and faculty have congregated over the years, is none other than our dining hall. The dedicated dining hall staff ensures the buffet is stocked with a diverse range of food and drinks. Thanks to its convenience and atmosphere, the dining hall ranks as one of the best hangout spots on campus.
Student Center
Located in the center of campus, the Travis Roy Student Center is at the heart of campus life. The downstairs area is where most deans’ offices can be found, along with the cafe and lounge area. The spot is most popular during the day and especially on weekends, when boarders and day students alike can go there to study or relax.
Main Lobby
The main lobby is a comfortable, welcoming, well-lit area. It’s generally a quieter space, as it is located closer to the administrative offices. The area is often a popular spot for day students, given the proximity to student lockers.
Courtyard
Surrounded by the administration offices and the day student lockers, the courtyard can be found. With benches, tables and some trees, it is a great spot to get outside for a few moments between classes or to sit down and do some work in nature. When being inside is too much to handle or you just need a break from the busy Academic Center, hop into the courtyard and relax in the sunshine.
Hoyt
Hoyt Hall is the heart of the school’s performing arts, with hundreds of students and faculty passing through its doors each day. As one of the largest buildings on campus and located right on the water, Hoyt offers functionality and also stunning views, making it a favorite spot to study or relax. Its centerpiece is the auditorium where plays, performances, and all school meetings are held, making it one of the most unique places at Tabor. You can’t play pool while having a waterfront view in any other building.
Lillard Living Room
Just outside the dining hall is Lillard Living room. The entrance to both Lillard dorms, Lillard Living room is also a relaxing space filled with big blue comfortable chairs and a screen for watching movies. Most people go there to eat when the dining hall is crowded, or simply to lounge.
Library
The library is a popular place for students because it offers a quiet focused environment ideal for studying, reading, and completing assignments. It features comfortable study spaces and group study rooms. For students who enjoy a more peaceful atmosphere, the library is a perfect escape from distractions, making it an essential hub for both individual and collaborative work.
Terrace (outside Stu)
The terrace right outside the Travis Roy Campus Center is a popular space during spring and fall. It provides a relaxed, open-air environment to hang out, study, or socialize. The comfortable seating encourages casual conversation, groups study sessions, or just a break from the work awaiting you indoors.
