About Group Activities and Conversation Rules
The Box Seats must be used by at least 3 persons, but at most 6 persons. Reservations are required at least one day in advance. It is okay to use the seats if somebody in your group leaves early, but if the number of participants drops to 2, we will terminate the event.
When using the Box Seats, Group Study Rooms and Private Research Rooms, please show IDs of all members such as student ID card, staff ID card or library card.
Only graduate students and faculty members can use Private Research Rooms. Please book two weeks in advance. Conversations are not allowed in those rooms.
If you want to participate in online meetings or classes, you can also use the balcony seats on the 2nd floor at your right-hand side of the entrance, or the Global Learning Room. No reservation is required, and conversation on online is allowed there.
The Lounge will continue to be a place to eat your meal by yourself. Please refrain from using the Lounge for anything other than meals during busy times.
