Quarry Plaza is the heart of campus at UC Santa Cruz. It is located within the middle of the our horseshoe-shaped residential college structure and is a central hangout spot that includes our Bay Tree Campus Store, Ivéta Cafe, and the Slug Stop, an express store for small grocery needs. It's also home to our Student Organization Advising and Resources, which oversees our 200+ different clubs and organizations on campus. Our Ethnic resource centers offer community, study space and programming for all of our students.

The Quarry Amphitheater, a 2,300 seat capacity, natural outdoor space is a great spot to find live concerts, club events, and other large campus gatherings. Quarry Plaza will be your go to place for tabling events, meeting up with friends, or stocking up on supplies and Banana Slug gear.
