Location: Room 264 (next to the LINC at the end of the "computer hallway", on the main floor) 
Hours: open for general public use during all main library hours when language classes and other groups do not have it otherwise booked. Generally, that means it is available evenings and weekends, but not as much during the business day. Facilities or Conference Services may book additional times for one-time-use groups. Unfortunately, Library staff does not have access to the full schedule.
See below for the schedule of regular classes for the current semester (to be updated).
