On-Campus Space for Remote Learning
On-Campus Space for Remote Learning
This fall many students will have schedules mixed with both in-person courses taking place on campus and remote classes taking place virtually.
In some cases, schedules or housing situations may require students to take their remote course while they are on campus. To help students efficiently attend their full schedule, we are providing a list of spaces on campus conducive to remote learning.
Rivera and Orbach Libraries
Both Rivera and Orbach libraries have reservable study rooms and open study areas. For each library, the second floor serves as a quiet space and should be used only for attending remote courses where you do not intend to participate. For courses where you might need to participate, such as discussion sections, consider areas on the third floor of either building.
The libraries also have laptop kiosks and study spaces with desktop computers. In both cases, please bring your own headphones so that you do not disturb other library-goers around you.

The HUB and HUB 302 South
The Highlander Union Building offers plenty of open study spaces inside and outside of the building. The ground level features study space in the dining area and outside on the patio at the umbrella tables. The upper floors of the building feature additional indoor open study spaces with enhanced study seating along various corridors.
For Fall 2021, the HUB will also have the South half of Room 302 open to students needing space to attend remote classes on campus. The room will be configured with a variety of tables, totaling 100 seats which are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Power strips will be available throughout the room to help students keep their devices charged. Hours for Room 302 North are Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.
The Student Success Center
The new Student Success Center, opening Fall 2021, features state-of-the-art enhanced study spaces and three reservable study rooms, available through reserve.ucr.edu.
For remote classwork, the first-come, first-serve open study areas are best equipped for your needs. The SSC offers enhanced areas in every corner and at every bend of the building. Under the Paseo staircase is comfortable seating, on the main floor there are plenty of tables in a large study area, and even the stairwell railings are equipped with counter-top seating with plenty of power sources to plug in and recharge.
The SSC student lounge, on the second floor, also offers study nooks, tables, and Brody Chairs which act as single-person study pods featuring movable tray tables, a place to stow your backpack, and two outlets beneath each seat.
The Student Success Center will be open this fall from Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.
