Find Your Zone
User seating areas within the Marvin Library Learning Commons are designated by color zone.
The color zones match the activity supported in that area. Red zones are for silent study. Yellow zones are for quiet study. Green zones are collaborative areas intended for group work.
The zones include the public areas surrounding the Learning Assistance Center, Writing and Research Center, Computer Learning Center, and the Library on the three floors of the building. The zones provide for the range of academic activities supported within the building.
Please locate to the zone that suits your needs in our efforts to accommodate silence, quiet, and collaboration under one roof!
