About Airfield SRWC
A modern Stanford gathering space
Airfield Memorial Union—now Airfield SRWC (Stanford Restaurant & Wellness Commons)—is built for the rhythm of Stanford life: lab marathons, rehearsals, athletics, and late-night study groups just off El Camino Real.
The name “Airfield” nods to the historic aviation grounds near the Stanford foothills. Today, Airfield SRWC represents a launchpad for everyday campus life: grab Chipotle on the courtyard lawn, meet a project team in Skyline Study Lounge, or recharge with compression boots at Solstice Wellness—all within minutes of Tresidder and the broader Stanford campus.
As a Stanford R&DE project, Airfield SRWC mirrors the amenities of classic student unions while adding flexible retail shells for local partners, recovery tech, and creative studios. Use the visit guide to plan your route or follow the Airfield SRWC blog for new concepts and vendor milestones.
Airfield Memorial Union breaks ground with a focus on outdoor dining, wellness, and flexible study terraces.
Dining wing launches with Chipotle, Panda Express, and new-to-market concepts like Suavecito Birria.
