UW Scout

UW Students — Meet Scout!

Searching for that perfect study spot? Need a whiteboard, outlet for your laptop, access to a printer? Looking for a room to fit a study group of 10? A space with natural lighting, close to food, and absolute quiet? Got a craving for a late-night meal? Need a camera for a class project? Scout can help.

Scout includes over 244 study spaces on the UW Seattle campus, 68 study spaces at UW Tacoma, 69 study spaces at UW Bothell, 55 places to grab food, and 157 tech items for use or check-out.

Scout is an application designed to help students at the University of Washington find physical campus resources that meet specific criteria. Scout was designed specifically for UW students, so you can quickly locate campus spaces and technology that meet your needs right from your phone.
