USCA Quad is NOT a Zoo

The quad is a central hub for activity at the University of South Carolina Aiken with access to classroom buildings, the Student Activities Center, administrative offices, the Greg Graniteville Library, and the Etherredge Center. The center point of the quad is the Fountain. You may observe many activities in the quad beyond providing access to the various available facilities.

1. Studying: Many students use the quad as an outdoor study space. They might bring their books, laptops, and notebooks to take advantage of the fresh air and natural light.

2. Socializing: The quad is often a central hub for socializing. Students may gather in groups to chat, catch up between classes, or enjoy a meal together. Sometimes, you may find people who have the right chemistry that develops into a life-long relationship. 

3. Organizing Events: The university and student organizations often use the quad to promote events or host activities such as fundraisers, awareness campaigns, or performances.

4. Relaxing: Some students use the quad as a place to relax and unwind. They might bring a blanket, lie down, and enjoy the surroundings.

5. Attending Outdoor Classes or Lectures: Some professors or classes may take advantage of the outdoor space for special lectures, classes, or events.

6. Listening to Music or Performing Arts: Musicians and performing artists might use the quad as a venue for impromptu performances or to practice their craft.

Be sure to check on the library hours to be sure that you may gain access. There are three stages where you will find the names of people associated with the university. The first and last names of these people will be used to generate the "keyword" that you will enter into the checker, which will provide you with the final location of the container.
