History, Brand and Traditions
Niners Know
- On Wednesdays, we wear green — It’s a Charlotte thing. Every Wednesday, Niner Nation floods the campus in green to show school spirit.
- The Library noise scale — Did you know? The higher up you go in Atkins Library, the quieter it gets. Check out the dedicated silent study spaces on the upper floors.
- Creative tech spot — Need to use Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, or Canvas for a project? Hit up the specialized computer labs on the second floor of Atkins Library, as well as Area 49.
- Prospector food and study hub — Prospector isn’t just for a quick bite; it has awesome study spaces, including the newly updated spots at Upper Prospector.
- Hammock spots — When the weather is nice, skip the library entirely and study outside in the campus hammock zones!
