The Freedman Center is being updated for Fall 2025!

To support this transition, the Freedman Center will close in July 2025 and reopen in August 2025. See this webpage for more information.


Located on the first floor of Kelvin Smith Library, the Collaboration Commons is typically used for collaborations, consultations, and instruction sessions regarding digital scholarship. We welcome patrons into the Commons for solo work and study. There is a curated bookshelf dedicated to topics related to the Digital Humanities, including GIS, 3D Modeling, Programming, and Statistics.
