The lounge is a great place to hang out, take breaks, eat, and socialize. There is a large, comfortable couch, a portable "boom box" for listening to reference material or other enjoyment, a well-equipped kitchen, a large ADA-compliant rest room, a television, large windows with Venetian blinds (should you choose to view the outside world--or not), and a variety of reading materials, toys, and other gadgets.
The kitchen features a full-sized refrigerator (stocked with an assortment of soft drinks, fruit drinks, and water), a microwave oven, sink, and coffee maker. An array of snacks and teas are always available. You are perfectly welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks and keep them in the refrigerator as well.
