The Graduate Student Research Commons is a room accessible to graduate students, post-docs, and faculty on the second floor of KSL. This space aims to encourage conversation and research collaboration, as well as serving as a quiet study space. It is available for use during staffed service hours and is not accessible during overnight access.
The Graduate Student Research Commons contains tables, ergonomic chairs, casual seating, and mobile whiteboards for patron use. Relaxation tools and board games are also available in the commons.
For selected circumstances, the room may be reserved for events that enhance graduate student research and learning. To inquire about reservations, please contact the Library Administration office at (216) 368-2992 or email ksl-mail@case.edu.
Graduate Study Carrels
Graduate students looking for a study space outside of the commons can enter an annual lottery every fall semester for an assigned study carrel in KSL. Each study carrel offers the space to conduct research in a quiet area of the library with access to 2 lockable storage cabinets. More information on graduate study carrels is available on KSL's Reserve a Room page under "study spaces."
