Group Study Reservations

In response to student requests, the reservation system for technology-enabled group studies in the Woodruff Library was  reinstated November 28 on a 24 x 7 basis through the end of the semester. Students will be able to reserve a study up to one day in advance and will need to check out a key from the Security Desk for access.  

This change applies to group studies 213, 656, 664, 665, 756, 764, and 765.

Group studies without installed large screen display technology will remain on a self-service reservation system. This includes group studies 106, 107, 212, 305, 306, 426, 434, and 435.

In addition, the following classrooms will continue to be available after hours: 215, 773 and 874.
