Two Group Study Rooms Are Now Reservable!

Great news! The Mendik Library is launching a pilot program in which two of our group study rooms, L209 and L210, can now be booked ahead of time. Groups of 2 or more can reserve one of these rooms for a study session, prepping for exams, or collaborating on a project. These rooms are available to be reserved from 11am-6pm, Monday-Friday.

Outside of these hours, these rooms are first-come, first-served like all of our other group study rooms. Check out our group study room policies, new group study room reservation policies and book a room here.

Creating a Quiet Space for Success!

To help maintain a quiet and productive study environment, please keep conversations to a minimum while in the library. Even whispered conversations can be distracting to those studying nearby, so we ask that you be mindful of your classmates.

Students studying in groups of two or more are encouraged to utilize the group study rooms located on L2, L3, and L4. These spaces are available to support collaborative work while preserving the library’s quiet study atmosphere.

Thank you for your cooperation.
