Cushing/whitney Medical Library

This library, like the medical school building that houses it, is full of hidden pockets and interesting spaces.
There are sections devoted to varying levels of quietness, but most of the library is blanketed in a no-​speaking-​unless-​necessary zone. Silence your phone and avoid noisy snacks (the library has a no-​food rule, but there is a Keurig machine in the entrance you can use for a fee)! If you want to do group work/​feel less self conscious about making noise, there are 3 group study rooms one level down. These can be reserved ahead of time, and two of them have whiteboards!
The Morse Periodical Room is a well-​lit «ultra quiet zone» that is perfect for when you need to buckle down and focus on a project.
The Historical Library Reading Room is where to go when you want to feel like you’re in the library from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast/​an old-​fashioned library.
The Cushing Room in the lowest level is a fun place to bring visitors/​check out jars of brains/​pictures of people with different. Not somewhere that I would want to study in for hours, but definitely a place to check out.
The information room is lovely during the day, but once the sunlight fades it gets pretty dim. There are lots of computers and macs, and you can print here if you have an account.
If you like to explore, this library is full of little nooks where you can find a study space that suits your taste. Take the time to walk around before you pick a spot!
Main complaint: closes at midnight. Guards will go around kicking people out at this time. There’s a warning bell at 11:45pm.

So quiet that time seems to stand still while you are here. You can smell the old wood in the medical history room. Very conducive to studying for long hours without feeling spent.
