Other Campus Study Areas

A number of new campus study spaces have opened in response the Library building closure and the Library Building Project. These include Cafe 101 and Rigoberta Menchu Hall in the Cesar Chavez Student Center and new study pods in the Humanities building.

A schedule of when classrooms are available as study spaces is also published toward the beginning of each semester. See the SF State Website for more details on campus study areas.

Check with your department to see if they provide a student study or lounge area.
