History
Beginning with AS Legal Resource Center and AS Isla Vista Tenants Union, Associated Students of UCSB has had a strong presence in Isla Vista. The upstairs of the now-Pardall Center was converted into an office for the Legal Resource Center and Isla Vista Tenants Union. Six years later, Associated Students realized the potential of the space below, so AS members brainstormed the best use of the space that would welcome not only students but all of Isla Vista community members as well. In 2013, Associated Students opened Pardall Center for use by Isla Vista community, and in 2015, students voted to continue to pay for Pardall Center’s ongoing operations through student fees.
This is a space for our community to engage, learn, create, share, make connections, access resources, get inspired, recharge, manifest, find a safe space to be, get healthy, and build a healthy and dynamic community and world.
To ensure we create a welcoming and safe environment, all visitors must comply with UCSB and AS Pardall Center Policies and Procedures.
