The group study rooms located on the first floor of the Queens
Library (St. Augustine Hall) are available to current St. John’s
University students for group study and
collaborative work on class projects. They are not intended
for use as individual study carrels or as general-purpose
classrooms and are not available for meetings of student clubs
and societies or social gatherings. The group study rooms are not
for use by students of other colleges/universities. Due to the
popularity of these rooms, the library has established reservation
policies for their use (see below).
There are seven group study rooms in the Queens Library: rooms
1, 2, and 3 are located in the Academic Commons on the first floor,
south wing and rooms A, B, C, and D are located on the first floor,
north wing.
