The 411: THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND!
This spring spend some down time at Cal Poly Pomona. There are great places to relax and enjoy yourself outside of the classroom. Below are a few great getaways here on campus.

Bronco Student Center (bldg. 35) –From TV lounges to study rooms you might surprised by how much is really inside.

Campus Center Marketplace (bldg. 97) – With ample seating and great food options the CCM is an ideal place to study or just people watch.

Cowboy Corner (outside of bldg. 2) – If you’re part of the College of Ag you’ve been here. It’s the perfect place to lie down and get a tan or get a little studying done.

Cultural Centers (bldg. 95 & 26) – With the wealth of diversity on campus, the Cultural Centers are not just a great place to learn but they also have some of the most comfortable couches.

ENV Café (outside bldg. 7) – This little known place to get a coffee and a snack is perfect and never too busy.

Gazebo (in the Rose Garden) – A great place to connect to CPP history.

Japanese Garden (outside of the CLA bldg.)– Fostering nature and Japanese culture, this garden is a serene hideaway from busy campus life.

University Plaza (bldg. 26) - As relaxing as a hay ride, you’ll find the “Old Stables” calming. Take a seat around the fountain or on one of a number of benches in the area.

These are just a few places on campus that you can hang out. Cal Poly Pomona can be an excellent place to relax and have fun!
