Large Group Study Rooms
There are two large group study rooms on the 3rd floor of Pitts Theology Library. These rooms are intended for the following purposes:
- Library workshops, presentations, and instructional sessions
- Seminars and classroom meetings for classes in the Candler School of Theology
- Study space for student study groups that are too large to fit into a small group study room
Rooms may be booked using the 25live room booking system. This should be done at least 48 hours in advance in order to ensure that the process can be completed by the time of your reservation. Students wishing to book this space for study purposes should contact the Candler Events office to request the space.
Please note that large group study spaces are reserved for study groups of 7-12 people. If your group is smaller than 7, or if you wish to reserve rooms less than 48 hours in advance, we recommend that you book one (or more, for a larger group), of the small group study rooms available on the 1st and 2nd floors of Pitts Theology Library. These rooms use the Open Room software system and require no wait time.
