Kelvin Smith Library
Graduate Study Carrels: KSL offers graduate student study carrels via an annual lottery, held each September the week after the Labor Day holiday. Carrels can be won for 1-year's use, and graduate students can apply every year.
Collaboration Rooms: Study rooms are available on the lower level of KSL and on the 3rd floor, and are intended for group work ( 2 or more people) that requires conversation and consultation that might interfere with the quiet in other areas. Stop at the KSL Service Center Desk to inquire, or use the KSL homepage Collaboration Room schedule, to reserve a room. Read the schedule information for guidelines on how to reserve (no same day reservations, for instance).
