Skibo Café
Skibo Café has historical significance for CMU’s dining program. Recently renovated, Skibo offers a multifunctional dining space that encourages social interaction and collaboration and celebrates the traditions of Carnegie Mellon's campus, contributing to the university’s sense of community and pride.
It features seating in the form of communal tables, soft seating, two booth sitting areas, bar and café-style seating, as well as writable wall and tabletop surfaces, digital displays, and easy access to power and data. The space also features a stage and improved acoustics for plug-and-play performances. The Skibo Café seating area is open 24 hours.
