Special Collections & University Archives

Although the space is open for general quiet study, we ask that all those who study here follow the rules of the Dalton Reading Room, which help us to preserve these unique and rare resources (i.e. food and drink are not allowed and you must leave your backpack at the front of the room.) Additionally, we must give seating priority to those using special collections materials.

Also on the 10th floor is an open quiet study area with comfortable seating and views of the campus and surrounding area.

The tenth floor is normally open 9-5 Monday - Friday, but it is sometimes closed for special events.
