Student Life

Student Lounge
The lounge serves as the student hub. WiFi access, vending machines, laptop plug-ins, study tables and college information displays.

The lounge also can be rented for community events. Check at the Registration  office for more information.

The BC Grind
Need that caffeinated jolt before class? Stop at the BC Grind. For frequent coffee drinkers pick up a punch card; if you buy 12 coffee drinks you get one free. The BC Grind also sells lunch items and snacks, bottled juices and water, and blended drinks and smoothies. Check out this link for more information on the Benton Center Bookstore. Textbooks are for Benton center classes only.

Remember that we offer Book Buy Back here at the Benton Center, in addition to the Albany campus, at the end of each term.

Gallery Space

There are two gallery display cases featuring the work of Benton Center instructors and their students. The displays change once or twice a term. The south hall display case is wall mounted and located on the south side of the center. The north entrance display case is a glass-enclosed space located on the plinth in front of the fitness center.

Upstairs, around the corner from the Learning & Career Center, is bulletin board space for student projects and student activities. Instructors can reserve two or three bulletin boards for displaying student work. Ask your instructor about it!

Student Notices
A bulletin board located in the student lounge is reserved for student announcements such as items for sale and ride shares as well as college information and deadlines. Check at the Registration office counter for posting guidelines.

Student Group Meeting Space
LBCC affiliated student groups can use the Benton Center for meetings and events at no charge. Contact the Administration office for details.
