The Jay Walk is a unique roof-top outdoor environment perched high above the City streets that also serves as another connection between Haaren Hall and the New Building.  This park-like setting was designed to enhance the feeling of community throughout the College and is an integral part of the campus.  The space is primarily for rest and relaxation although at times special events will be scheduled there.  The Jay Walk can be accessed through doors on 2nd floor of the New Building, Student Dining Hall and Faculty/Staff Dining Room and through doors at Haaren Hall’s second floor.
