The Iowa Memorial Union and UI Main Library will be open all night to support students in their efforts to prepare for the end of the semester.
Twenty-four hour study at the IMU will begin Thursday, December 10th and end Friday December 18th at 10pm. Main Library 24-hour study will begin Sunday, December 13 at 11 am and will also end Friday, December 18th at 10pm.
“The Library and the IMU have been working hard to provide students with adequate study space, given the issues caused by the flood. Both facilities lost considerable student space and the IMU will re-purpose meeting and ballrooms to facilitate additional quiet and group study spaces during finals week,” David Grady, Associate Vice President and Dean of Students.
Promotion of the extended hours will be partly funded by UISG. “With the end of the semester approaching, it is crucial to support our students and offer places to study at all hours,” Michael Currie, President UISG.
The IMU will be extending River Room hours until 11pm on December 13, 15th and 16th, and will be offering students a midnight breakfast in the River Room on December 14th from 11pm-1am. Additional group and quiet study space will be set up in the building, and a game room will be open all night in River Room 1, IMU.
In the Main Library, computers in the ITC on the second floor will be available all night; research assistance will be available at the first floor information desk until 9 pm. Hardin Library for the Health Sciences has an unstaffed after hours study area. The Pomerantz Business Library will be open Sunday, December 13 – Thursday, December 17 until Midnight each night.
