Group Study Rooms
The University Libraries has reservable study rooms and first-come, first served rooms available in both the Mary Idema Pew Library and Steelcase Library for groups of 3-12 people.
How Room Reservations Work
Our study rooms can be reserved up to 10 days in advance online or at time of need using the touch screen outside each room. You can make up to three (3) hour-long reservations each day. Empty and available rooms can be used, but be sure to reserve the room to prevent another group from reserving it.
At least three people from your group need to arrive within 15 minutes of your reservation, or the room will be available to other groups.
Looking for quiet place to study?
Mary Idema Pew: Try the Reading Rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor or the quiet spaces around the book stacks. Small groups are welcome to work together in the various collaborative spaces on the west side of the library.
Steelcase: Try the Reading Room for an intimate, quiet study environment. The collaborative space between the library entrance and Building B is a great place for group study.
