Graduate Students & Library Services: Library Spaces

The Pillsbury Graduate Quiet Study, a special quiet reading room on the 5th Floor of the Knowledge Center, is exclusively designated for graduate students. The space offers comfortable fabric lounge chairs conducive to reading and quiet reflection as well as four separate tables and spectacular views of campus and the surrounding mountains. To activate your WolfCard to allow you to access the space, please complete the Library Spaces Access Request form. 

Need a place to store all of your materials or a private spot to work on a big project? Private carrels and lockers, located in MIKC 421, can be reserved by graduate students and faculty. Learn more about Faculty and Grad Study Carrels & Lockers.

Welcome to some of our favorite places to study and collaborate. For a complete list of spaces, please visit Library Locations and Work Spaces. 

Shhhh: Quiet Work

In addition to the graduate student Pillsbury Room, the entire 5th floor of the Knowledge Center is a quiet study sanctuary. Choose a small table by the expansive windows and bask in the natural light or select a table next to a wall or the interior of the floor to reduce any distractions. We also recommend the desk and table spaces on the 4th floor for reading and quiet study needs.

Collaborative Work

The Knowledge Center and the DeLaMare have a variety of locations that can be reserved for group study.
