All About The Yard

THE YARD COMMONS

The commons offers visitors of The Yard a place to sit, relax, and study. This 1,678 square foot lounge also hosts a multitude of events year round open to the public and the Rutgers' community.

Hours: Monday - Friday: 7am to 10pm Saturday & Sunday: 9am to 5pm

JUST STEPS FROM THE BUSIEST STUDENT BUS STOP AT RUTGERS

With a bus stop used by more than 8,000 students daily, The Yard is the new crossroads of the Rutgers-New Brunswick campus, and welcoming to students, alumni and our neighbors across the area.

Video Board and the lawn

A 25,000 square foot public green space hosts countless events, and an HD jumbo-tron that broadcasts Rutgers sporting and cultural events, movies, news, original content and live programming, from early morning to late in the evening throughout the year.

GREAT FOOD, PLENTY OF CHOICES

The Yard is also one of New Brunswick's newest dining destinations where you'll be able to grab some coffee from Starbucks and enjoy the morning news. Healthy grub will be found at honeygrow, but you'll still be able to get your Fat Sandwich at RU Hungry. Krispy Pizza, Jersey Mike’s and Art of Wings & Bubbleology round out the long list of great food options for hungry visitors.
