Find Your Study Space with Us

Welcome new and returning students! Do you need a place to read, study, and reflect? If so, our libraries have collaborative and quiet spaces to offer. Be sure to consider the following spaces within our Steenbock Library building as your study needs change during the week and throughout the semester.

Group Study
Our recommended space for group study is the first floor (lower level) and BioCommons. Find large tables, comfortable furniture, and moveable dry-erase boards for drafting and visualizing content or process. (Markers for the boards can be requested from our Circulation Services Desk on the entrance level).

Rooms to Reserve
Find rooms to reserve on the first floor. Use the reservable Study Rooms link to log in (with NetID) and make your reservation.

Quiet Study
Our dedicated quiet study space is our topmost, 4th floor. Find cozy carrels and large tables with a view of the Allen Garden and lakeshore. Please note that due to occasional traffic to stacks and the University Archives, we are unable to maintain this area as a “silent” study space. If needing a designated silent study area, we recommend College Library (Room 3191 South).

Need a break to pause and reflect?
Our building’s “Reflection Space“ can be found on the third floor, along the windows above our front entrance.
