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 evenings and weekends.
Rooms 204A through 204J may be reserved for use by study groups on:

Monday - Friday, 4pm - 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!)
If a group leaves the room unattended for more than 15 minutes, they may forfeit the use of that room. Students are expected to use the room during the time reserved.
Belongings must not be left unattended.Â They should not be used to "hold" a room, and may be stolen.
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.

Himmelfarb Library reserves the right to modify the schedule at any time.
