About the Pardall Center
The Associated Students Pardall Center is a dynamic community space located in the heart of Isla Vista, offering a welcoming environment for UCSB students and Isla Vista residents to gather, connect, and access important resources. Our mission is to foster community, support learning, and provide essential services for academic and personal success.
On the first floor, you’ll find a comfortable setting for studying or working, with spaces designed for both individuals and groups. We offer a range of amenities, from free computer and WiFi access to a quiet meeting room and a front patio for relaxing or gathering with friends. Throughout the year, we host Study Jams during finals, where students can come together to study in a supportive atmosphere, complete with snacks, drinks, and study supplies.
The second floor serves as a hub for the Isla Vista Tenants Union and the A.S. Legal Resource Center, both of which provide vital services to the community. Whether you’re looking for tenant support or legal advice, these offices are here to help.
Beyond just a physical space, the Pardall Center is a cornerstone of Isla Vista life. It’s a place where students can drop by for support, whether it’s for accessing academic resources, picking up essentials like COVID tests, or simply connecting with others in a safe, inclusive environment. The center also offers event space for campus organizations, fostering collaboration and engagement throughout the community.
At the Pardall Center, we’re proud to be a place where people come together, learn, and grow, all while making the most of their UCSB and Isla Vista experience.
