Cabell Library Group Study Rooms

Cabell's group study rooms provide space and technology to support collaboration. Most rooms are equipped with whiteboards and markers; power, networking, and wireless for laptops; and large plasma screens with laptop ports.

Use of Rooms

Reservations

• Reserve rooms online.
  • You can reserve rooms for 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes at a time.
  • Each member of your group can reserve a room up to three times each week.
  • You can reserve a room up to 14 days in advance.
• A group is two or more people, one of whom must be a VCU student, faculty, or staff member. Groups have priority over individuals, and one member of a group may not "hold" the room for others.
• Individuals may be asked to vacate group study rooms when groups are in need of collaborative study space. Individuals seeking a quiet space are encouraged to use either the Quiet Floor (3rd Floor) or Silent Study (4th Floor).
• If a room is empty, your group may use it on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend that groups reserve the room they're using.
• Bring a copy of your reservation with you. A printout of the e-mail or a handheld device displaying the confirmation e-mail will do.
• If your group does not claim the room within 15 minutes of a scheduled reservation start time, the room will be made available to others.
• Individuals who need temporary access to a study room may request special assistance at the Cabell Library research assistance desk (804) 828-1101.

Room Guidelines

• Rooms are not locked and are available whenever the library is open.
• Rooms are monitored by Library staff and security guards, who are available to answer questions and to assist you.
• VCU and VCU Libraries policies apply to group study rooms, including Use of Library Facilities. (PDF)
• Please be courteous to others and recycle or dispose of any trash before you leave.
