Group Study Rooms

Weekend Reservations

The fourth floor corner study rooms are available for weekend use, but they must be reserved in advance. The rooms feature white boards, large screen monitors and speaker phones. Due to the demand for these rooms, we have initiated the following system to assure that students are able to use these rooms in a fair and appropriate manner.

The study group rooms in general are for groups of students only. Individual students should use the library for quiet study. Please note that programs such as the Leadership Core Series may limit the corner room availability on weekends.

Reservations will be limited to 2-hour time periods on Saturdays and Sundays from 7:00 am - 5:00 pm.

Reservations will be accepted for the upcoming weekend beginning Monday at 12:00 pm and will close Friday at 12:00 pm. Reservations made outside of the designated time frame will not be accepted. Only one reservation request per group (per day) will be accepted.

To request a study group room, please click here.

You can view the room schedule beginning 3:00 pm Friday by clicking here.

Room reservations will be posted outside each study group room. In the event that a time slot is not pre-reserved, a group may sign up at the door for any available time slot.

Questions may be directed to Allyson Grey.

Weekday (Evening) Reservations

Reservation requests are not accepted on weekday evenings. Although the group study rooms are available on a first come, first served basis on weekdays, you must first verify that the space is available by checking the reservation sheet posted outside the room. Please note that evening classes and special programs limit the availability of these rooms on weekday evenings.

Questions may be directed to Amish Thakker.

Weekday (Daytime) Reservations

Reservation requests are not accepted on weekdays. Although the group study rooms are available on a first come, first served basis on weekdays, you must first verify that the space is available by checking the reservation sheet posted outside the room. Please note that special programs limit the availability of these rooms on weekdays. The four corner rooms will remain locked during the day to ensure the safety of the equipment in those rooms.

Transportation

Campus Parking:

Annual/Quarterly Evening/Weekend Parking Permit
If you plan to drive to the Chicago campus, you may want to consider purchasing an annual or quarterly parking permit. The Evening/Weekend Permit gives students access to the garage from 4:00 pm to 8:00 am the following morning, with 24-hour access on weekends and University holidays. This permit is valid at the Erie-Ontario garage (Lot D) at 321 E. Erie. For more information, please visit the Chicago Campus Parking Office website.

Note: If you plan drive to campus two or more days per week, you may want to consider this option.

Evening/Weekend Validation Parking
Validated tickets are only accepted at the Huron-St. Clair garage (Lot C , 222 E. Huron) and the Erie-Ontario garage (Lot D, 321 E. Erie). When you enter the garage, you will receive a ticket from a machine. Bring this ticket with you to Wieboldt Hall and self-validate it in the student mailroom on the 1st floor. When you return to the garage, insert the ticket in one of the pay machines in the lobby. You should receive the discounted rate of $7.50 per evening/weekend day (see hours below). If you have any problems, push the call button and a garage attendant will assist you. Should you require reimbursement due to machine error, please contact Allyson Grey.

Note: If you plan to park on campus only once per week, you may want to consider this option.

Discounted Rate Hours
Monday - Friday: 4:00 pm - 10:00 pm (same night)
Saturday - Sunday: 7:00 am - 7:00 pm

Evanston Campus Parking
All vehicles parked on the Evanston campus must display a valid permit year round, Monday through Friday from 7:30 am until 4:00 pm. Therefore, if you plan to take evening classes in Evanston (and arrive after 4:00 pm), obtaining a parking permit is not necessary. Please note that some lots are enforced 24 hours a day. You should not park in these lots without a valid permit. A list of these lots is available on the parking office website.
