We want you to find the perfect workspace at Robertson Library. This year, we've simplified our noise expectations.
If you prefer silence, you can find it upstairs in the sunroom, the study carrel areas along the outside of the building, and the individual study rooms (320-327 and 331-336). These areas are reserved for quiet study.
In the rest of the library, including the entire main floor, group work and other "inside voice" conversations are encouraged.
Everywhere in the library, please use headphones or keep your devices silent. If you need to watch a video or attend an online class as a group, use a group study room and be considerate of your neighbours.
