The library offers a flexible environment with a variety of study places. The places are designed to suit everything from individual study to collaboration in groups. There are both quiet zones and zones where you may have conversations and meetings. If you need to go for a break, you can reserve your place with a parking disc.

Our libraries mostly consist of seating where you can work by yourself or as part of a group. You are free to talk, but please be considerate towards other people nearby. At the Orkanen library, there are group rooms which university students can reserve.

Student i tysta zonen

In all our libraries, there are spaces where you can study individually in a quieter or silent environment. In the silent area, no conversations are allowed, and both computers and phones should be on silent mode.

Events and exhibitions at the Library

Be inspired by the exhibitions on display, especially at the Orkanen library. You can view other students’ art in the Students’ gallery, learn more about current research in the Researchers’ gallery, or find out about current topics on the book wall at the entrance.

The silent room

Are you looking for a moment of stillness, away from everyday stress? There are three silent rooms at the university where you can pray, meditate, practice yoga, or just sit and enjoy the silence for a while. The rooms are open to everyone and cannot be reserved ahead of time. The rooms can be found at the Orkanen library, the Faculty of Odontology, and Health and Society.
