The glass study rooms in the Learning Commons are now booked by reservation. There are also study rooms available at the Science and Engineering Library (SEL). You can send patrons to the LC desk for further information but you should also know about it.

Please read the information on the link on how to reserve so you can better help patrons.

If there are any I missed please let me know!

Where is "group room C"?

"Group Room C" is located on the Lower Level. All of the glass group study rooms are on the lower level and lettered over the door.

Where is Room E of the Learning Commons? -D.J.

All of the glass study rooms have a letter on them. Room A starts at the north end of the LC and then go in alphabetical order along the wall.

Any open rooms to study in the Library?

There are group study rooms in the Learning Commons. Anyone can use them.. They are meant more for groups of three or more though so if a group comes along that wants the room, a single person can be asked to leave for the bigger group to use the room.

There are also open study carrels (single study) on Floors 7 and 10.

Do you know of any rooms that patrons can go in and study?

If they are a Graduate Student or Faculty they can apply for a carrel online by going to the "Borrowing" option under "Services" on the left hand side of the Library home page. From the next page click on "Library Carrels" which is the bottom option on the left. From there they can read about the carrels and find the application.

On the 7th and 10th Floor there are open carrels with no doors on them that anyone can use.

There are also glass study rooms located in the Learning Commons and in the Science and Engineering Library. Groups of three or more can reserve them online. Ask at the LC Desk for more information.
