Group Study Rooms Policy

Rooms for individual or group study in the Himmelfarb Library are normally available on a first-come, first-served basis. To accommodate the needs of our students, however, the Library has set aside a wing of second floor rooms that students may reserve for group study during weekday afternoons and evenings, and also on weekends.

Rooms 204A through 204J may be reserved for use by study groups on:

Monday - Friday, 2pm - 12mid
Saturday - Sunday, 9am - 12mid
Requests for these study rooms can be made either at the Circulation Desk or by calling (202) 994-2962. The following guidelines apply to group study rooms:

• Only GWU Medical Center students may use or reserve these rooms.
• Students may sign up for a room on an occasional basis, between one and seven days in advance. (Rooms not scheduled at least a day in advance are available only on a first-come, first served basis.)
• Groups may reserve rooms for a maximum of 4 hours at a time. (Members of the same group may not sign up for consecutive time slots!)
• Leaving personal belongings behind does not constitute use of study space, and it places those items at risk for loss or misplacement.
• Groups must be considerate of others by:
• using courtesy when asking others to vacate the room you've reserved
• limiting noise, food and drink
• cleaning up prior to leaving
• Questions should be addressed to the Circulation Desk.
