The GRC is a dedicated study and event space for graduate students located between the Library and School of International Service. It can be accessed in two ways:
Reservations are available to AU graduate students between 8am-midnight when the GRC is staffed. At all other times, the workrooms run on a first-come, first-served basis. Each workroom includes a TV, with the ability to connect your laptop to project on the screen. Please see the Library workroom policies before reserving a room. Current availability: GRC B54, GRC B55.
Day-use and semester lockers can be checked out from the Circulation Desk on the first floor of Bender Library. Day-use lockers are due the following day when the Library closes. Semester lockers are located immediately outside the GRC and are due at the end of each semester. Lockers are not intended for storage of food, perishable items, or uncharged Library materials. Library staff reserve the right to check lockers.
