As part of our commitment to wellness and providing a rejuvenating environment, the library provides nap pods providing patrons a unique space to recharge and unwind. Key features of the nap pod include comfort and ergonomic design and privacy and tranquility. There are two nap pods, and both are located on the second floor in the Study Zone, room 2406K, across from the study zone’s kitchen.

We offer diverse options for well-being while you work in Strauss Library. Try one of our walk or bike stations instead of a study room. There are three walk stations on the first floor of the library, one in the Study Zone on the second floor, and two walk stations on the third floor. There is a bike station on each floor of the library. The bike station on the second floor is next to a pull-up station if you really want to test yourself.

Collage of Tables and Chairs

Strauss Library has updated furniture in a variety of rooms over the past year. Last year, the Tower and the Video Conference rooms on the third floor received new conference tables and chairs. Our Tower Room (3100) has comfortable executive-type chairs and flexible sectional tables that allow for diverse configurations.
