A space for every study style.

The Library provides a variety of safe and inclusive study spaces across all our campus locations. Whether you’re looking for a silent, quiet or social space—we’ve got you covered.

Silent or quiet study 

You can find a quiet study space in each library, perfect for focused study or a relaxing break. Look for signage to show designated quiet study spaces or speak to staff for directions. When using these areas be mindful of others to help keep our quiet study areas silent for everyone to use.

Social study 

Our social study spaces are a great place to get together with your classmates. Whether you’re working on a group assignment or preparing for an exam with a study mate, the Library offers a range of seating options, including sofas, booths and desks.

Study rooms 

Need something a little more private? Each campus library has study spaces that you can book for group work. Book a study room online via the Study spaces webpage.

Assistive Technology rooms 

Library Assistive Technology rooms are available for students with disability. Contact Student Disability and Accessibility  to find out more information about facilities available at your campus Library.

 

Sensory friendly space

Discover the sensory friendly study spaces at Nathan Library, Queensland College of Art and Design, Logan and the newly completed sensory space at Gold Coast.  These spaces boast adjustable lighting, individual desks and comfortable sofas. Designed to be a silent and distraction-free zone, it is open for anyone who can benefit from such an environment.

Please be respectful of others in the library by keeping noise to a minimum. Use quiet voices, silence your phone and remember that many students are studying or working on assignments. A quiet environment helps everyone succeed.

24/7 Study Space: 

Need to study after hours? Students and staff can apply for access to our 24/7 Safe Study Spaces at Nathan and Gold Coast libraries.
