Kendall Learning Commons: Library

Library second floor

The Kendall Campus has its own library designed to meet the academic needs of its students, faculty, and staff. Collectively, the library offers a wide variety of resources including books, e-books, audiovisual materials, magazines, and journals. Library and Learning Common facilities are planned with the needs of modern scholars and researchers in mind. Comfortable furniture and spaces invite students to engage in collaborative work in open areas and private study rooms. 

Open Study Spaces

Group Study

Students can collaborate using group tables. Dry erase markers are borrowed at the front desk if you would like to use one of the mobile whiteboards available.

Private Study

For those who want to study privately, individual study stations and pods are available.

Study Pods

Comfortable study pods are available at a first come, first serve basis.
