The Mbongi Spot, formerly known as the Bird Nest, was renamed to represent the space as a hub of community and collaboration. Themed in celebration of Black and African cultural tradition, the Mbongi Spot is open to all LMU students, faculty, and staff. The Mbongi Spot provides ample space for members of the LMU community to gather for collaborative work sessions, mentoring meetings, or informal socializing. This community space features lounge furniture and also offers free access to computer stations and printers.
