The Learning Center

Trying to find a place on campus to study this semester?

The Learning Center is located in the basement of Gabel Hall. The south side of the learning center contains work tables, a computer lab and a café offering additional workspace and is open to all students. Physical distancing guidelines and cleaning protocols are in place to make this a safe and productive space to study.

The north side of the learning center is being used for in-person class sessions during the fall 2021 semester and therefore is closed for general student use.
