The Newcomb Quad is adjacent to the Berger Family Lawn and lies in front of Newcomb Hall. It is surrounded by live oak trees and is a great spot to lay out and read, get some sun, or play sports. These live oaks were transported from Newcomb's original campus as saplings and are still growing strong 100 years later. These beautiful oaks provide pockets of peaceful shade around a quad that is open for playing sports or laying out. In between Newcomb Hall and the quad sits Benenson Plaza. This raised outdoor landmark was the gift of Benenson family and it features seating with umbrellas for gathering and studying.
