General Information
The George Trigger Burke Lounge
38' x 35.5', 1349 sq. ft.
The George "Trigger" Burke Lounge is, next to the Cafe, "the" hang-out spot at Newman. Students are so comfortable using the Burke Lounge, you can often find them sleeping on the couches between classes. Basically, the Burke Lounge is the Universities living room, so, come and make good use of it!
In addition to being a great place to sleep (or, yes, study) the Lounge is fully covered by our FREE WiFi internet system. The Lounge also has four public access computers, that are well used.
But best of all, the Burke Lounge houses our State of the Art 110 in. Movie Theater System. With a permanently mounted commercial grade DLP movie projector connected to a dedicated DVD player and Digital Cable TV box, throwing in a movie or catching a sports game on the spur of the moment is easy. Just pull down the screen, pop in a DVD or select a TV station and we're good to go. But what really gets the Center shaking, is the 300 Watt, Digital Dolby 5.1 Sound System that's fully integrated into the Lounge. |  | | Oh ya, the Movie Theater System has S-Video and VGA connections for VCR's and Laptops. The Burke Lounge is great for showing PowerPoint presentations.
