The Quad is a wide, open field, that is a great place to relax, play games, and enjoy one of UVic's many green spaces. It is located in the center of campus, surrounded by many academic buildings, including the McPherson Library. The beautiful trees that line the edges of the field are great for slack-lining. The site is open to the public and always full of activity, especially on a sunny day. It is an excellent people-watching spot.
