Study Spaces and Equipment

Find Your Ideal Study Environment

Find the space you need to learn, focus, and create, whether you're tackling a group project, working through tough homework, or preparing for a presentation.

Reserve a quiet study room, find a spot in a student center or lab, or check out drop-in areas designed for collaboration across all of Rutgers–New Brunswick’s campuses.

Some spaces are designed with tools for specific experiential learning opportunities, such as maker spaces, labs, and the Math and Science Learning Center's physics demonstration floor.
