The Office of Classroom Management manages and maintains over 60 non-classroom study spaces across the Twin Cities campus. The OCM team includes these spaces in our annual budget to ensure they stay up to date and continue to support the needs of our students who use the spaces. These study spaces are thoughtfully designed to support focus, collaboration, and be inclusive for all university students. They are great touch down spaces to use in between classes for independent work or group work.
General purpose classrooms are open (unlocked) during standard hours of operation. During these hours, classrooms are available for individual and group study when not scheduled for a class or event. Check out Room Search for more information on classroom features and availability. A QR Code is posted outside all general purpose classrooms. Scanning it with your mobile device will bring you to today's schedule for the building.
Seating is first-come-first-serve, and room occupants cannot restrict access to other users during these open study hours. Classrooms are a shared resource; not a private study space.
