Top of the Hop

Top of the Hop Happenings

The iconic campus hub, a longtime favorite spot for studying, meeting friends and simply hanging out, has regained its warm, welcoming energy.

With new sound isolation and refreshed design, the space can now host informal performances, pop-up events and other gatherings with ease. A new bar adds to the vibrancy, offering a place to enjoy drinks, pre-show conversations and more.
