This special tour invites members of the UMass community and the general public to see the campus not just as a collection of buildings, but as it is experienced by students. Our campus acts as a "living" sanctuary — a “third place” for students, offering essential support, belonging, and community. On Saturday, October 11, we will experience the campus together from a new and unique lens. This architecture tour will highlight three brutalist buildings: the social heart of the Lincoln Campus Center (Marcel Breuer, 1970), the academic sanctuary of the W.E.B. DuBois Library (Edward Durell Stone, 1972), and the cultural haven of the Randolph W. Bromery Center for the Arts (Kevin Roche, 1973) and its newly renovated Arts Bridge, along with other places that draw students naturally to find spaces of refuge. Together, these buildings and their location at the core of the campus beautifully underscore UMass Amherst not just as a campus, but as a supportive, communal sanctuary.
Parking is available at the Campus Center Parking Garage, at 91 Campus Center Way, Amherst, MA 01003, which connects underground directly to the Lincoln Campus Center lower level lobby. The rate is $1.85/hr. and the garage is open 24/7. For more information visit
