Hours and Locations

We're here for you
Knowledge Market consultants are ready to work with you. We have two convenient locations at the Mary Idema Pew Library in Allendale and the Steelcase Library downtown, and we also offer online consultations so you can meet with us from wherever you are. To have a consultation, schedule an appointment or join our drop-in queue at any of our locations. We look forward to working with you!
Mary Idema Pew Library (Allendale)
The Allendale Knowledge Market is located on the first floor of the Mary Idema Pew Library, directly across from the service desk. A receptionist sits under the post and beam to greet you and help you check in for your appointment or join the drop-in queue. When your consultant is ready to begin, they will introduce themselves and take you to a table for your consultation. Presentation practice rooms are also available for speech consultations.

Steelcase Library (Downtown)
The downtown Knowledge Market is located in the Steelcase Library Collaborative Zone in DeVos Building A. During open hours, consultants are seated under the post and beam that says "Knowledge Market," ready to help you check in for your appointment or join the drop-in queue. Presentation practice rooms are also available for speech consultations.
This location is closed for the summer, but you can still meet with us online!
Online
Consultants are available for virtual consultations so you can meet with us wherever you are. We use Google Meet, which is a video chat platform in the Google Suite. This is a free service to you as a Grand Valley student; just be sure to use your student Gmail account. The features available include:
- Video
- Audio
- Closed captioning
- Screen sharing
- Chat
- Document sharing
To have a virtual consultation, make an appointment or join the drop-in queue using Book It. Refresh the My Appointments page periodically so you'll see the "Enter Appointment" button pop up when your consultant is ready to begin. That button will take you to a Google Meet room for your consultation.
