Study Spaces 

You may like to listen to music while you study, but your classmates may prefer total quiet. To accommodate different people's needs, the library is zoned into Quiet zones (1st and 2nd floors), where you can listen to music with headphones, and Silent zones (3rd floor) where no sound is allowed. Please choose the appropriate zone for your studying and respect those around you.
