We’ve pulled together information about study spaces at UCI for those of you who are looking for options during the Law Library Expansion.
In the law school
MPAA 408, 420, and 430 are available as study space when there are no classes in session.
On campus
There are several other libraries here at UCI, as well as a variety of areas dedicated to quiet study. We’ve put a map with hours and other details on bulletin boards around the law school, and it’s also available online in PDF: Map of Study Spaces at UCI.
Our crack team of investigative librarians tapped into our network of UCI insiders* to get the scoop on these mysterious places beyond MPAA, and according to our sources:
If you want a guaranteed quiet space, Science is your best bet. You can even get a study room sometimes.
The Student Center is nice because it’s quiet, but sometimes the seating options are kind of limited.
The nice thing about the Gateway center is that it’s open all the time.
During Reading and Exam Periods
As a reminder, we want to reassure law students that
- the law library is reserved exclusively for law students during reading and exam period, because we are closed to visitors during that time, and
- it should be relatively quiet, because current plans call for a construction break during that time.
