Quiet Study Areas
- There are several designated Quiet Study areas throughout the Robert W. Woodruff Library.
- Some of these areas include the Matheson Reading Room, accessible via the Level 3 bridge, and Level 4, 5, and 8.
- While these areas are unable to accommodate group study and conversation, we have many other spaces available for collaboration.
- If you choose to sit at a large table in the Quiet Study areas, be open to making room for others to sit with you. If you’re looking for a seat, don’t be afraid to ask politely if you may join the table if there’s room.
Collaborative Study Areas
- Learning Commons combines technological resources and support services in an accessible, welcoming environment for learning and research.
- The first two floors of the Woodruff Library are designed to be a place for library users to gather and interact, so if you are working with a group, this is a great place to be.
- Many of the tables, seating, and whiteboards on the Level 1 and 2 are mobile, so you can move things around to best accommodate your study needs.
- Group Study Rooms are located throughout the library and can be reserved through the Student Digital Life Resource Scheduler.
