Green Commons, the building just west of Graham House and north of the Coach House, provides a recreational room for College residents only.
The room contains a TV and a foosball table, and comfortable couches. It is a good location for small resident get-togethers, or just a place to drop in and socialize, with a beautiful view across the ocean.
Next door to the resident recreational room within Green Commons is the office and home of UBC’s Interdisciplinary Studies Graduate Program (ISGP), whose staff are present during weekday office hours.
