Your guide to finding study spaces on campus

18 March 2026

Here is a list of study spaces available on Ilam campus.

HOW TO APPLY

Libraries 
Puaka-James Hight is considered the number one study space for many students, but it can fill up quickly. If a library environment works for you, you can also check out MacMillan Brown or EPS. 

There are bookable study spaces in all three libraries – find out more here>.

No longer need that study room booking? Cancel it and let someone else book it. 

Informal learning spaces 
Not-so-secret spots for study are dotted around campus – if you see a space around with soft seating and a table, you’ve likely stumbled across one!
