Uris Library Study Area

The vision for the new Student Study Area (formerly known as the Uris “Cocktail” Lounge) is centered around the space becoming a 24/7 study destination for Cornell students. Clearly delineated collaborative, quiet and silent space zones will offer a variety of learning environments for different types of study.

The renovations will take full advantage of the stunning views as envisioned by the original architect Gunnar Birkerts. The design supports easy, flexible space configuration for different types of events, including receptions in the central area.
