I know starting classes on a Thursday this semester definitely threw us all off track a little with the whole, \u201cis it week 3? 4? 3-4?\u201d<\/em> Whether you\u2019re the type who needs absolute silence to get some work done or whether you prefer some chatter in the room, it\u2019s time to find your study corner to live out the rest of the season. I went on a mini library hunt last week and made you a list of some of my favourite findings:\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nArchitecture, Landscape, and Design (Eberhard Zeidler Library)<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis new space is located at 1 Spadina Crescent, yes that\u2019s the new Daniels building in the middle of the road. The original heritage building was renovated and another contemporary addition was integrated, leaving us with an \u2018old side\u2019 and a \u2018new side\u2019. With a mix of exposed brickwork, wooden floors, tall windows, and an urban rawness to it, the library offers a bright and relaxed workspace with a view to the CN Tower (and Popeye\u2019s)!\r\n\r\n\"exterior<\/a> \"A<\/a> \"a<\/a>\r\n\r\nBora Laskin Law Library<\/strong>\r\n\r\nIf you like to study outdoors but can\u2019t deal with Toronto\u2019s forever-confused weather, this newly renovated space (ok it\u2019s been a year or so) allows natural light to just pour in seamlessly. Another perk is the fabulous views of Philosopher\u2019s Walk and Trinity College for all those times you zone out \u2013 at least it won\u2019t be a wall you\u2019re staring at.\r\n\r\n\"landscaped<\/a> \"the<\/a> \"large<\/a>\r\n\r\nE.J. Pratt<\/strong>\r\n\r\nI\u2019ll admit this gem at Victoria College may not exactly be a \u2018hidden U of T treasure\u2019 but I just had to. This has to be the most photogenic library on my list and it\u2019s got a little lounge on the bottom floor too! There\u2019s a space here for almost any type of student \u2013 whether you prefer a private corner, big open rooms, or just a desk with a view, this has it.\r\n\r\n\"Exterior<\/a> \"inside<\/a> \"A<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nGerstein Science Information Center<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAlthough this one of the main libraries at U of T, most people just find one spot and stick with it (guilty of doing it myself). What I recently discovered was that there\u2019s two completely different 2nd<\/sup> floors with two completely different ways of getting there \u2013 ask the front desk! One is simply the new part, and one the old. Other than the visibly accessible spaces on the right, left, and 1\/2\/3 Below, there\u2019s study spaces deep down in the basement level too. I\u2019ve been here for 3 years yet I\u2019m so sure there are spots I\u2019m yet to discover.\r\n\r\n

borrowed from heritage.utoronto.ca<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nHart House Library<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThere\u2019s a lot\u00a0 at Hart House, including a library. I usually went straight to the Arbour Room or the gym, but again, so much going on in this one social hub that we often don\u2019t think to come here to get some work done. This has got high vaulted ceilings and a different feel to it \u2013 like you\u2019re a 20th<\/sup> century philosophy student figuring out the meaning of life or something.\r\n\r\n

Let me know what your favourite study spots are and if you\u2019d like a part two on the series but this time for hidden cafes, lounges, and quads!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
