Library Floor Plans

Know your zones: Silent Study, Quiet Study, and Conversation. The Silent Zone (Blue) provides an environment for individual study without distractions. The Quiet Zone (Yellow) offers a blend of solitude and companionship, making it an excellent choice for students seeking individual study alongside others. Students engaged in collaborative activities will find the Conversation Zone (Orange) most appropriate for group work and active learning.
