Study Spaces
Study Spaces
The CU Boulder campus has many great study spaces, some of which are very busy, while others are oftentimes deserted. Following is a list of some of the great spaces available on our campus; however, there are dozens of other informal spaces available to students.
ATLAS Building Study Rooms, 2nd floor - This innovative study environment offers study rooms with inviting couches.
Biolounge, Museum of Natural History - Students can take advantage of a coffee bar, lounge and innovative museum exhibits.
C4C 3rd-floor Lounge - Boasting the largest dining center on campus, the C4C has it all - from the plethora of food options to the in-house student programs.
C4C Dining Center, Italian Cibo Section - This gem was recently added as a study spot and offers late-night hours Sunday through Thursday. Enter by CU on the Run, and don't forget your Buff OneCard! BYO snacks or purchase them downstairs in The WeatherTech Café.
Gemmill Library - Recent remodels have increased the library's collaborative space; still offers quite individual study areas as well as group work.
