Public Spaces
The Commons Terrace
The Commons Terrace overlooks the Olympic-size pool and is a favorite
student hang-out when the weather turns warm. In addition to a regular
meeting spot for lunch, the terrace is the venue for Friday afternoon
concerts, ice cream socials and festivals such as Fall Frenzy, Involvement
Fest and Quadmania, UMBC's all-campus, spring festival featuring
live bands.
Conservation and
Environmental Research Areas
CERA, established in 1997, supports environmental education and
conservation at UMBC. Covering approximately 45 acres, CERA has
considerable ecological diversity. In addition to teaching opportunities
for faculty, CERA offers a wide range of opportunities for short-
and long-term research projects in a variety of disciplines. For
more information, visit www.umbc.edu/cera.
Joseph Beuys Sculpture
Park
The Joseph Beuys Sculpture Park is a quiet space at the edge of
the UMBC campus with 30 oak trees, granite stones and benches. The
trees were planted in 2001 by volunteers from the Center for Art
and Visual Culture. For more information, visit www.umbc.edu/cavc.
