Study and Relaxation Spaces

Study Spaces in JMEC and Penn Campus

JMEC has 13 study rooms, 12 classrooms, and five conference rooms, in addition to ample seating in the atria, behind the Law Auditorium, and in the outside garden.

Other quiet study space is the computer lab 24/7, 503 and 504 from 6PM-10PM, and the respective house classrooms anytime they are not booked (505,506, 515 and 516). MS4s can reserve study rooms during the Fall for residency interviews.

On campus, the main location for graduate study space is the Holman Biotech Commons, a state-of-the-art building attached to the renovated Stemmler Hall. It has 20 quiet study rooms available for reservation, five conference rooms, 3D printing, computer stations, and other open study space.

We recommend visiting the Graduate Student Center, Van Pelt, and other green spaces like the Bio Pond.
