Group study & Media rooms

  • Rooms are intended for group or individual study. The two larger rooms at the Library Annex may only be reserved by groups of two or more. Study rooms may not be used for regularly scheduled classes and meetings.
  • Rooms must be occupied during the reservation time. Library staff may cancel reservations for groups who have a reservation but are not actively using the room.
  • Rooms must be vacated immediately at or prior to the end of their reservation so the next group is not kept waiting.

Library policies

  • Groups must refrain from making excessive noise and disturbing other library patrons.
  • Food and drink are permitted in the group study rooms at the Library Annex, in the study rooms on Level 1 and Level 2 of Coe Library and in the media viewing rooms.
  • Groups must clean up after themselves and leave the room in good condition.
  • Rooms must be secured at all times and the door closed upon leaving. Users of the group study rooms are responsible for the loss or damage of personal belongings or library equipment during their reservation.

*Abuse of group study and media room policies may result in the loss of study room privileges.
