Group Study Rooms
What are Group Study Rooms?
Our group study rooms are on the second/main floor and seat four to six people. All rooms have monitor displays and white boards, but you must provide your own dry erase markers. You may use an empty room on a first-come, first-served basis, but reservations take priority.
Reserving a Group Study Room
You can reserve a room up to 7 days in advance and for one hour at a time. You can have four active reservations. All reservations must end at least 15 minutes before closing time; the system will not let you make a reservation that ends at closing time.
