Study rooms are for academic purposes only. This includes group work and media viewing for courses. Rooms on the fourth and fifth floors are equipped with VHS/DVD/CD playback equipment and may be used to view the Library media collection.

Auditions and rehearsals are not permitted. To reserve a space for a performance or a rehearsal, contact the Max Mutchnick Campus Center (150 Boylston Street, 617-824-8680), which manages space at 80 and 150 Boylston Street to support meetings, auditions, rehearsals, performances, and other events.
