Space in the library

The library is a great place to study. In fact, research suggests that students who have library instruction courses tend to get better grades and have better retention.

In addition to the general seating areas, most South College libraries and resource centers also offer meeting rooms and quiet study space.

Meeting rooms are first-come, first-served unless reservations are made for guaranteed availability. Carrel room space is first-come, first-served.

Spaces available by site are:

Knoxville Lonas

• Three meeting rooms. Called Rooms 1, 2, and the AV Room, these rooms are best for group study and meetings. Wifi is available in all library areas. A television and a monitor are available in the AV room. (See the library front desk for AV room equipment accessories).
• One study carrel/cubicle room for quiet study. The carrel room space is best for silent, private study, and is in the back right by the emergency exit.

Knoxville Parkside

• Seven meeting rooms and a conference room. Two to the left of the entrance, and five to the right. Room 1 has a whiteboard, and Room 2 a SmartBoard.
• One study carrel/cubicle room. This room is located past the meeting rooms to the right of the entrance, on the right next to the emergency exit.

Asheville Resource Center

• Two meeting rooms (102E and 102F). These are rooms where students can set up laptops and work quietly. The resource center also has study cubicles.

Nashville Resource Center

• Five study rooms (Rooms 202, 203, 216, 217, and 501). All study rooms have whiteboards except room 501.
