Maintaining a Healthy Environment

You will experience some changes to Shafer Library this year. These changes are in place to maintain a healthy environment for you to study as part of the Oiler Start Safe and Stay Safe plan.

Study room capacity is reduced to ensure appropriate physical distancing. Four study rooms (16, 17, 213, and 214) are large enough for two people to be six feet apart. All remaining study rooms can be used by one person at a time.

Overall, seating capacity in Shafer Library is reduced to ensure appropriate physical distancing with one person per table or study carrel. Below is a break down of seating capacity, not including study rooms:

Second floor – 68 seats

First floor Guyer Lounge – 13 seats

First floor learning commons – 31 seats
