How is the building laid out?
The building maps (for first, second, and third floors) show you what's where within the building. Additionally, there's a directory inside the main entrance.
Where are the bathrooms?
Bathrooms are on all three floors, along the east wall (chapel side) between the stairs and the windows/carrels. The handicapped accessible bathroom is on the top floor. The nearest gender neutral bathrooms and a lactation station can be found in the Campus Center, which is attached to the Library.
Does the building have an elevator?
Yes! Find it on the main floor just past the Information Desk, which is located just inside the entrance. Information Desk workers can direct you further.
What supplies are available in the building?
Find supplies like scissors, tape, staplers, a paper cutter, and three-hole punches at the Information Desk and at the station near the printer on the main floor (directly across from the entrance). You can also check out dry erase marker kits at the Information Desk.
We also have equipment like portable DVD players, digital cameras, headphones, and MacBook chargers all available to borrow at the Information Desk.
Where can I study within the library?
Just about anywhere! You'll find a variety of study spaces on all three floors, ranging from tables to carrels to couches. Private study rooms are located on all three floors on the south/Olin Hall side of the building.
How loud are the study spaces?
Spaces on the main and bottom floors tend to have a normal level of noise and are suitable for group study or for individuals who prefer ambient noise while studying. For those who prefer a quiet atmosphere, the top floor is designated as the Quiet Floor.
Can I bring food into the library?
Absolutely! You are welcome to bring food and drink into the building. You can find recycling and trash bins throughout the building. We also offer a compost bin and a Gustieware return bin in the foyer. Read more about our policy here.
Where can I find a water fountain?
There's a place to fill water bottles on the wall near the bathrooms on all three floors.
Drinking fountains are located at the back on all three floors, half-hidden behind wooden panel/bulletin boards.
