Our libraries offer a range of study spaces to suit your needs.
24/7 access
You can apply for 24/7 access to our libraries on the Gold Coast and Nathan campus. This will give you access to the computers, study spaces, holds and reserve items at the Library any time of day and night.
Collaborative Spaces
Perfect for collaborative work, study groups and meet ups, our collaborative study spaces offer a range of seating options, including sofas, booths, desks and white boards.
Quiet Study Spaces
Our quiet spaces are perfect for hunkering down and getting to work on your assignments and preparing for exams.
Bookable Spaces
If you have online tutorials, or need to record a presentation these bookable spaces are a great option for a little bit of privacy. You are eligible for up to two hours a day and can book the spaces up to a month in advance.
Sensory Friendly Space at Nathan
The Nathan Library has recently debuted their new Sensory Friendly study space in building N53 room 1.51 which features adjustable lighting, individual desks, and sofas. The space is intended to be a quiet, distraction-free space that is open to anyone who could benefit from it.
Our favourite nooks
Nathan Library: If you find fresh air invigorating you should visit the outdoor courtyard (room 2.10A) at the Nathan library. This undercover outdoor space includes a large white board, large desks perfect for collaborative work and bushland views for those moments your mind wanders off while you study.
South Bank: These private powered study booths are perfect not only for a quiet study session but because they overlook Grey Street they’re also a great place to do a little people watching. There’s also a phone charging station near by.
Gold Coast: I think we can all agree that sunning yourself on these sofas by the window in the Gold Coast Collaboration Zone is the perfect way to get through your required readings this trimester.
Logan: Study Room 4 is the largest of Logan Library’s bookable spaces. The fogged glass and green wall décor make it a great place to record video presentations, and there are plenty of wall ports, so your whole study group can keep powered up.
The Conservatorium: This sunny private nook hidden behind a corner is complete with sofa and beanbags. It’s the perfect place to warm yourself in the sun as winter chill sets in while you listen to some music.
Mount Gravatt: The basement is a great place for noisier collaborative work and if you’re lucky you might get to see some inspiring artwork left on the white board, like this in-depth study of the Shrek cinematic universe.
