With Pierce Reading Room temporarily closed for renovation, you may find yourself in need of a new spot to study come finals season.
If you’re looking for designated Quiet Study Areas, you can find them on Lauinger floors 1, 4, and 5, as well as in Blommer Library and the entire Bioethics Library. In these areas (clearly marked by signs), there is no talking or playing of music (even with headphones), so you can focus on your reading with zero distractions.
Alternatively, there are individual and group study rooms throughout Lauinger Library with QR codes posted on the door. These codes will take you directly to the study room reservation for that room. You can make an instant reservation at the top of each hour for a maximum of 3 hours twice a day.
You can also still make an advance reservation at library.georgetown.edu/seats.
We have several room sizes available:
- The smallest group study rooms (204, 205, 404, and 405 in Lauinger) comfortably accommodate up to six people
- Larger rooms (222B and 222C in Lauinger, and the Blommer Science Library Group Study Room) accommodate up to eight people
- The largest room (Millennium Room) accommodates up to ten.
- Three more small group rooms (220E, 220G, and 220H) are reserved for faculty and grad students, and each of these rooms has a capacity of four people.
All rooms are equipped with a table and chairs and a wall-mounted LCD display with cables to connect a laptop or other devices–everything you and your group could need to get the job done before Pierce finishes its big makeover.
