Library Spaces
Whether you prefer silent study or a bustling coffee shop vibe, working solo or with a group, Roesch Library’s spaces and environment are intentionally designed to match a variety of preferences and needs.
Many areas are flexible enough to accommodate academic programs, cultural events, art exhibits, media production, creative expression, dialogue and more.
The Collab (Room 240)
Teaching and learning takes place in this flexible classroom primarily used for library instruction, but events and meetings are hosted here, too.
