Situated along University Place, South Mid-Quads (SMQ) is home to Shepard Residential College. The first floor is a major hub of activity with its kitchen, lounge, gaming equipment, and seminar room. Students can’t come or go from the building without seeing neighbors and having the chance to join in any number of activities. Fun fact: The committee that designed SMQ in the early 1980s thought student rooms needed only desk lighting, a decision that did not go over well.
Don’t worry, renovation during the Housing Master Plan introduced contemporary lighting throughout the building!
