UPDATE: Due to the major power outage on campus, undergraduate students are using some law school classrooms and other spaces for relocated classes. During the first part of the reading week (which started April 21), undergraduates will also be able to use parts of the law library.
Study rooms remain available exclusively for law student reservations, and law students can also reserve seats in many parts of the library.
As you prepare for exams and consider where you will sit in the library, we provide an up-to-date view of library study spaces and access rules.
Browse floor plan images in this PDF document with all details.
Across four floors, we provide these seating options:
- Open seats for exams: 1st floor Reading Room
- Seats to reserve: basement, 2nd floor
- Study Rooms for groups or work on final papers/projects: 14 rooms across 3 floors
- An area for quiet conversations, lunch and relaxed seating: 1st floor
During the reading week and two weeks of exams, we will restrict library access to only law students. Contact a library staff member or somebody at the Circulation Desk with questions.
Note: For any unmarked areas, we will keep these spaces as quiet as possible. However, potential foot traffic (e.g. 2nd floor entrance) and service needs (e.g. Clinic space) mean that these areas may have distractions that interrupt concentration.
We welcome questions and feedback about the plans to support exams.
