Study Zones

Thinking of reviewing lecture material before class, getting a head-start on next week's assignment, or just looking for somewhere on campus to spend the day?

Whether you need a quiet place to concentrate, a spot for group work, or access to resources, the JKU offers a variety of study zones across campus. These spaces are designed to support different learning styles and preferences.

Silent Zones

For deep focus and individual study with no talking and minimal distractions.

Main Library & Learning Center (Upper Floors)
Quiet, spacious, and well-lit areas equipped with power outlets and strong Wi-Fi.
Open Monday to Saturday, with extended hours during exam periods.
Tip: 3rd Floor Learning Center could be a little bit more noisy than the Main Library floors.

Important: Respect the silence rules in these designated quiet zones.

Med Campus Library
A calm and modern study space for medical and non-medical students alike.
Offers individual desks, power outlets, and a quiet atmosphere perfect for focused reading or research.

Juridicum Law Library
Quiet, study‑focused space on the ground floor of the Juridicum building, suitable for individual reading and legal research in a concentrated environment.

Open Monday to Friday (until 22:00), and Saturday Sunday (until 18:00), offering extended hours for late study; during the current renovation period, access remains via the elevator and any temporary changes are posted on the library page.

Important: The Law Library is undergoing rennovation from Jan 2025 until Mar 2026 which will cause some restrictions on opening times and might cause some noise.
