Individual and Group Study Spaces

A variety of study spaces are available within the Learning Commons to accommodate different study preferences. Individual study carrels and quiet zones provide focused, distraction-free environments, while group seating accommodates collaborative projects and group work. Comfortable lounge seating and open areas throughout the space offer flexible options for reading, studying, or working between classes.

Decompression Room

Need a moment to recharge? The Decompression Room offers a quiet, low-stimulation space to relax and unwind between classes or study sessions. Stress-relief tools, including fidgets and puzzles, are available to help you reset and refocus, whether you're taking a short mental break or looking for a calm space away from the busyness of the Learning Commons.
