The Higgins University Center is a four-story campus union building that teems with activities representing the engaging and active spirit of Clark’s campus
The Higgins University Center (also known as the the UC) is the major hub for student activity on campus. The third floor offers meeting spaces and a home base for many of Clark’s nearly 140 student groups; the second floor contains the student mailroom as well as a performance and lecture hall; and the ground level comprises meeting rooms and the Information Desk, along with two distinct ways to dine: the Higgins Café (the main dining hall) and the Bistro. In the basement level, you’ll find the Craft Studio, a small performance venue, and the main mail room.
