John Muir College - Celebrating the Independent Spirit

The Jewel of John Muir College: The Muir College Center

Unique to our campus, the College Center is located in Stewart Commons downstairs from Sierra Summit and offers a wide variety of products and services. The college center includes MOM (Middle of Muir), POP (Purveyer of Products), Muir Woods Coffee House, limited office space for student organizations, several meeting rooms, and an outdoor seating area. Students at the College also have convenient access to resources such as a copier, computers, and a printer, all available for use by the college community.

MOM is an information lounge where students can relax, watch TV, surf the net, purchase tickets to an upcoming event, or sit and chat with staff and friends.

POP is our convenience store where students can purchase school supplies, Muir gear, snack items, and beverages, just the nutrition to get them through the day. We are known for our quality products and among the lowest prices on campus. Recently the College Center has begun accepting credit and debit cards.

MUIR WOODS COFFEE HOUSE — If it’s good coffee you seek, them Muir Woods is the answer. We carry fair trade coffee from a local roaster and are ranked among the best on campus. Of course, our goal is to be number one.

EL PORTAL houses the offices of Muir Television and the Muir Quarterly. It also has a small conference room, student work stations, and much needed storage space.

REDWOOD LOUNGE doubles as a program space for student organizations and a college lounge for commuter students. Once a week, Muir College Commuter Council (M3C) holds a free commuter breakfast for hungry students arriving early to campus.

HALF DOME is a popular meeting facility on the Muir College campus where many of Muir’s student organizations hold their weekly meetings.
