Robert E. Kennedy Library
Group Study and Quiet Study
We launched our Graduate Student Study Room a couple of years ago and it has been popular and well-used. Almost immediately, however, we heard from students that they still needed a reserved Quiet Study space. Over the past year we transitioned our 4th-floor quiet study room into a Graduate Student Quiet Study Room. It's now configured similarly to the existing Grad Study Room — furniture, white boards, computers and lockers — but specifically reserved for those needing a quiet environment.

More amenities
- Computers

- Grad students can check out a mobile locker for up to 90 days. The locker stays in one of the grad study rooms when you are away from the library, but can travel with you on any floor when you are ready to study.
- Standard lockers
- Need something more standard? We have a bank of lockers available on the second floor.
