Testing and Privacy

Visual privacy

Due to library safety and security considerations, none of our study rooms are completely visually private. Do not block the views into the study rooms. Note that this means if the view into the room is blocked with something over the window, our staff will enter the room to do a visual safety inspection and remove the visual barrier.

If you are looking for rooms with the most visual privacy, these study rooms have more visual privacy:

  • AMP: 4220D – (small window in the door)
  • Chemistry: 2430G, 2430H – (Opaque frosted glass)
  • College: 2191A, B, C – (small window in the doors)
  • Steenbock: 111, 112, 113, 114, 115 – (small window in the doors)

Acoustic privacy

Almost all of our study rooms are built to provide sufficient sound isolation for typical in-person discussions or virtual meetings. If you are particularly concerned about sound isolation, these rooms have LESS sound isolation:

  • Steenbock: 112, 113, 114, 115
  • Historical Library: 217, 234

Honorlock, LSAT, and other test taking locations

Honorlock should work in any of our study rooms. Also, you should orient yourself so that your camera points away from any window in the room.

LSAT testing should work in any of the rooms listed above under “Visual privacy.”
