...another study room! We are very pleased to announce that we have added a sixth study room to our repetoire! Study Room F is located in Room 727 in the library.

These rooms can be reserved for up to three hours. Also, always be sure to check for open study rooms as groups often do not show up. After 20 minutes, the group forfeits the room.
