Welcome!

Welcome to the SDS Lounge, a space at the University of Iowa created for students with disabilities and shaped by the mission and vision of Student Disability Services (SDS). 

The SDS Lounge is open to all students and reflects our commitment to creating a campus where every student has the resources, access, and support they need to succeed. This welcoming, low-sensory environment was designed with the help of students, for students, and aims to offer a place to check in with your needs, socialize, study, engage in group projects, and participate in various programs. 

We look forward to seeing you here. Visit us when you can, and feel free to contact us with any questions!
