Group study room bookings

To support requirements for physical distancing, we have temporarily closed group study rooms, media booths and study pods. Loans for headphones, VGA and HDMI cables have been temporarily suspended.

Group study rooms and media booths in the Main Library and Law Library Kensington can be reserved online by UNSW students. Check individual room details when booking for current equipment availability and specific furniture e.g. some rooms contain high furniture. An email confirmation will be sent to your UNSW account.
