Purpose

Study Rooms

The library provides individual and group study rooms for use primarily by students. Our mission is to accommodate space for academic study. Given the demand for these rooms by students, study rooms may not be used for general meetings or non-academic purposes.

Is there a place to work in groups?

Seven rooms on the Library's 2nd floor are designated "Group Study" for two or more individuals.

Group study rooms feature whiteboards and four of the rooms are equipped with a smartboard. A wireless keyboard and mouse may be checked out at the ASK desk when you pick up your room key for the smartboard.
