3rd Floor Lantern (Kolligian Library 355)
KL 355 is designated as a Library reading room. For exceptional occasions, it can be used for a non-library event. Non-library use of the space requires the approval of the University Librarian. The primary decision factor is the balance between the need for student study space versus the broader interests of the University.
In recognition of the limited study space on campus and the importance of library spaces for studying, large or disruptive events are not scheduled in the Library during the week prior to final exams or during final exams.
