AnnArbor.com just named Rackham’s Reading Room one of the “eight great places to study” on U-M’s campus. The Reading Room is just one of the spaces in Rackham dedicated to graduate student use and we invite you to check them out this week as you prepare for exams or need to just do some writing. The study halls are located on the second floor of Rackham and are open Monday through Friday from 8:00am – 8:45pm. All rooms have wireless connectivity available. Please note that the Rackham Building will be closed from December 24-January 2 for the U-M break, but will reopen at 8:00am on Tuesday, January 3.
The Study Halls include:
The East Lounge
The East Lounge is a place to relax with friends, study in groups, enjoy a snack or beverage, or just hang out. This room has wireless connectivity for laptops. The Vending Room is located adjacent to the East Lounge and a kitchen with a microwave and sink is just across the hall. Feel free to bring your own food or drinks.
The Reading Room
The Reading Room is reserved for quiet study. It’s furnished with overstuffed armchairs and large tables featuring power outlets. Food and drink are not allowed in the Reading Room to help maintain its historic elements, but bottled water is permissible.
The West Study Lounge
Like the East Lounge, this room is also equipped with comfortable furniture. Graduate students in Rackham programs may book the 2nd floor West Study Hall South Alcove for study group meetings for the current semester, at least 3 days in advance. The alcove seats 18 people at a boardroom style table and there is no cost to Rackham graduate student study groups.
U-M Wireless Network at Rackham
The U-M Wireless Network is available to anyone who has a valid University of Michigan uniqname and password. The network is available in designated areas of the second floor and the fourth floor of the Rackham Building. Information Technology Central Services provides easy instructions to get started.
