STUDY SPACES ON CAMPUS
As the end of the semester draws near and finals week starts to come into view, you may find that it’s time to buckle down and get some serious study time in. The library offers great individual and group study rooms all year long, but you may find it hard to reserve these rooms when finals week
rolls around, and it seems like everyone is trying to cram in those last study sessions. During the end of the semester, the last thing you need is to feel the added stress of finding the perfect place to study. Here are some of our top picks for alternative study spaces on UNO’s campus:
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR: PLENTY OF OUTLETS Roskens Hall Roskens Hall hosts the College of Education, but that doesn’t mean you can’t study there. This building is one of our top picks for any student to study in. The front atrium of this building (immediately east of the front entrance) provides tons of natural light and a good amount of comfortable seating options. This space has a vending area nearby the study lounge, complete with study snacks and plenty of options for caffeine. Just down the hall is a lounge area which primarily consists of barstool seating. These two spaces are ideal for solo studying, especially if you’re looking for a guaranteed spot to recharge your technology.
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR: COLLABORATIVE SPACE PKI Hallway Lounges
Mammel Hall Breakout Rooms
The newly renovated PKI building has made many great additions that are particularly accommodating for students, including hallway study lounges on the first, second, and third floor. Most lounges include desktop computers, a WEPA printing station, comfortable chairs, and plenty of desk space. These lounges are perfect for solo studying or smaller study groups of two to five students.
For students trying to avoid the trip up to Dodge campus from Pacific campus, the six breakout rooms (four on the second floor and two on the third floor) in Mammel Hall are the perfect solution. These rooms are available to all students with the simple wave of a MavCard. Each room features six comfortable leather chairs, a conference table, computers connected to large LCD screens with a wireless mouse and keyboard, and soundproof walls. Rooms are available during normal business hours seven days a week and can be reserved in-person in Mammel Hall room 217 for up to four hours at a time. Reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
Maverick Village Clubhouse Classroom Equipped with a full wall of whiteboards, a projector, and a bunch of desks, this space is perfect for working on projects, study sessions, and brainstorming in large groups. This room is available to all students, even if you’re not a resident in Maverick Village. Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Saturdays 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm To reserve the classroom, contact Allison Woolcott (awoolcott@unomaha.edu), at least 3 days in advance.
West of the lounge area is a more collaborative space, with study booths and break out rooms for groups of up to six. The breakout rooms require no reservation and can be used on a first-come, firstserved basis.
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR: PEACE AND SOLITUDE MBSC Fireplace Lounge Located on the first floor of the Milo Bail Student Center, the fireplace lounge offers a cozy environment tucked away from foot traffic, making it a great space for reading and studying for exams. Available seating options range from armchairs and couches surrounding the fireplace to tables with barstool seating and great atmosphere.
