Library Spaces

Study Spaces

Egan Library on the Juneau Campus offers a variety of seating options and flexible spaces to accommodate quiet study, computing and collaboration. Large windows and skylights fill the library with abundant natural light and forest, lake and mountain views.  The Learning, Testing and Writing Centers are located on the lower level of the library. 

Study Rooms

Study & Conference Room Reservation  

There are seven study rooms and two conference rooms throughout the Egan library. Study rooms are great for solo study, attending a live online class or collaborative group work that might be too loud for other spaces. Study rooms can be reserved up to three hours a day, up to one week in advance by UA students, staff and faculty. Please make a reservation before using a study room.  Priority will be given to users with a reservation.  Community groups (non-UA affiliates) interested in conference rooms use should contact the circulation desk: 907-796-6300 or uas.libcirc@alaska.edu. 

Create Space

A rotating selection of pop-up Creation Stations are featured near the main level entrance. Creation Stations offer an oppportunity to pause, reflect and create.

Studio A 

A small recording studio featuring three studio microphones, a mixer and a MacBook Pro running Audacity is available for use by UAS affiliates and in support of UAS courses and clubs. First time users require an orientation and then may access the studio on a drop-in basis for up to three hours at a time during library open hours. Contact the Circulation Desk or Jonas Lamb to schedule an orientation. 

Event Space

The UAS Egan Library’s primary function is as a research and academic support facility. In order to maintain quiet study areas for students, we strictly limit the number and type of activities taking place in the building during our regular service hours while classes are in session, and events are not permitted during the weeks of midterms and finals.

Depending on staffing availability, we may be able to host activities complementary to our academic support mission between semesters and on Friday and Saturday evenings. Lectures, scholastic award ceremonies, art exhibits, performances, conferences, and Community Day activities are examples of mission-compatible events. Non UA affiliates will need to complete a Memorandum of Understanding upon approval of the event request. Library service hours and semester breaks are posted online: Library Hours.

Please fill out our Facilities Request Form for more information on hosting your event.
