Not very quiet – maybe that entire area could be quiet study?
Good question and good suggestion!
In fact, the majority of that area is already designated as “Silent Study” (we just apparently haven’t done a very good job of advertising that fact!)
You can see by our map below that, except for the closed/glass room along the wall, all those smaller rooms should be used only by those wishing to work independently (and silently). We’ve left one room as “green/commons”, due to the lack of other spaces in the Library for separate group study and have found that room to be fairly sound-proof. However, if it becomes a disruption we’ll re-evaluate the designation!
In light of your comments, we’re reposting signs and should soon have our zone map available so that all users are aware of current restrictions. We’re also expediting the replacement of the door, installing one with a new & improved viewing window (the original solid door was considered a security risk).
And, finally, please always feel free to speak with a staff member – we’re happy to remind our users to be aware of their surrounding and considerate of others!
