Study Areas/Rooms

  • Study Zones

    • In recognition of the varying study needs of the ASU student community, the ASU Libraries are pleased to offer specific Study Zones in Fletcher, Hayden and Noble Libraries.  Throughout these libraries there are now three types of zones, with corresponding noise expectations:

    Common Study Zones :  Common study zones, found on the entrance levels of the libraries and nearby service desks, are areas where noise is to be expected and groups are encouraged.  Please use these areas to convene, collaborate and talk on your cell phone. 

    Quiet Study Zones :  Quiet Study Zones, found throughout the libraries on levels with book and journal stacks are all naturally quiet environments.  In these areas quiet conversation is allowed, but please silence your cell phones. 

    Silent Study Zones :  Silent Study Zones, found on Level 2 and in enclosed rooms on Level 3 and the Lower Level in Hayden Library; in the enclosed room on the second floor of Noble Library; and in 3rd Floor East at Fletcher Library are areas where no talking is permitted.  Please turn off all cell phones in these areas.

    Maps are available online to see precisely where each zone is located in the Hayden, Noble and Fletcher Libraries.
