We know how much you love the group study rooms on the second floor of the library. But starting this week, rooms 218 and 219 will be temporary offices for staff displaced by the Richardson Hall renovations. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Here’s some group study spaces you may not be aware of:
Room 215 – this group study room near the Grizzly Testing and Learning Center doesn’t get nearly as much use as the others
Rooms 302 & 306 – as long as there’s no classes or meetings scheduled, these rooms are open for you to use
Rooms 315, 316, 317 – these classrooms remain locked when they’re empty, but a librarian would be happy to let you in as long as there’s no classes scheduled
There’s also plenty of open spaces where groups can work on all 3 floors of the library.
If there’s anything else we can do to help you study more productively, please let us know.
