The newly renovated silent study spaces

“The York University Libraries (YUL) realizes the importance of providing additional seating – each year – to address the evolving needs of students who are looking for quality study spaces. We wanted to make it easy for students to find a place on campus to ‘plug-in’ – to their studies,” says associate university librarian, information services, Mark Robertson.

The transformation of Scott Library’s fourth floor means the original 30 silent study spaces in this area have increased to 166.

In part, the renovations will be occurring in the reference area just off the atrium (behind the nail wall sculpture) where the computers and the Scott Reference collection  are currently located.  The construction work will commence in May.  More information will soon be posted on the Libraries web page.  Please stay tuned!

Some preparations of this space will, however, begin Monday, April 19th, when we will be moving the collection of Scott Reference books into a temporary location in the Scott Library atrium (this process should take several days).  If material is needed from this collection during the period it takes to relocate the collection, please inquire at the Information Desk or Research Questions Desk.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience during the renovation process.

If you have any questions, please contact Mark Robertson.
