A shady oasis of trees stands between Neils Science Center and the first-year residence halls – and is a popular spot for students to set up hammocks on a sunny day in the Hammock Village.

The Bell and Beacon (BBs) is located on the northwest side of the Harre Union and is your space to hang out with friends, grab a snack, or play games. Free for all Valpo students, faculty, staff, and guests. We have billiards, shuffleboard, table tennis, board games, and rental equipment. There are regularly hosted events in BBs including watch parties, Trivia Thursdays, live music, and more!
