Angelo & Jennette Volpe Library

Group Study Rooms

What are Group Study Rooms?

Our group study rooms are on the second/main floor and seat four to six people. All rooms have monitor displays and white boards, but you must provide your own dry erase markers. You may use an empty room on a first-come, first-served basis, but reservations take priority. 

Reserving a Group Study Room

You can reserve a room up to 7 days in advance and for one hour at a time. You can have four active reservations. All reservations must end at least 15 minutes before closing time; the system will not let you make a reservation that ends at closing time.

1. Go to TechConnect (available via TechExpress).
2. From the TechConnect homepage, click the "Make an Appointment " button at the top right. Be sure you have selected "Student Home" on the left side. If you are an employee wanting a study room and cannot choose "Student Home," email Sharon Holderman. If you are an employee and want to reserve bigger spaces, you must use Coursedog.
   
3. Type of appointment: Volpe Library
4. Service: Reserve a Library Study Room
5. Chose your date. If you choose a date more than 7 days in advance, it will say no appointments are available.
6. Click the "Find Available Time" button.
7. If you want to see times for a specific room, click the "View individual availabilities" link.
