Purpose
The primary purpose of group study rooms is to provide a place for HonCC students to engage in collaborative academic work and study. Library group study rooms are available for use by HonCC/UH System students. Priority use goes to HonCC students. HonCC faculty and staff may reserve a study room to conduct college business.
The study rooms are for groups of at least two and no more than six individuals.
Rooms include use of a whiteboard and WiFi access for laptops and personal devices. One media viewing room is available and contains a wall mounted wide-screen display with a HDMI connector to plug in a laptop or other device.
