Group Rooms, Study Places and Computer Rooms

At the University of Gävle we want to create a good study environment for you as a student by offering different types of environments for different needs. There are a number of group rooms, study areas and computer rooms on campus.

Small Group Rooms

There are small group rooms in the stairwells of buildings 11, 31 and 51 which you can use when they are free, but you cannot book them. Teachers can book the group rooms in building 51, but if they are not booked you can still use them.

Group room 51:228 has eight seats. You can access the group room from 07.00-22.00 with your HiG card. This room can also be booked by teachers for teaching purposes.

Group rooms 51:321, 51:322 and 99:501d can be booked by teachers, but you as a student can use them if they are free. You can check the timetable and see if the room is available by scanning the QR code on the room sign outside.

Larger Group Rooms

Group rooms 11:216, 31:217 and 51:224 can accommodate several groups studying at the same time. These rooms are for studying and not for eating. Rooms 31:217 and 51:224 have wall-mounted screens to which you can connect your laptop. You can use the group rooms from 07.00-22.00, but you will need your HiG Card to enter after 17.00 in the evening and at weekends. The rooms are not bookable.

Group Rooms in the Library

The Library has both bookable and non-bookable group rooms. The non-bookable rooms are located on level 4 only. Bookable group rooms are booked via Kronox.

Study Spaces

There are study seats in the form of sofas and tables on almost all floors of the university buildings. Feel free to use the seats on floors other than level 2 if you want to study more undisturbed. The library also has a large number of study spaces.

Quiet Reading Environment

There is a quiet reading room on the ground floor of the library. The quiet reading room is for those who wish to work undisturbed. There are special rules in the quiet reading room, such as not talking or eating in the room. The basic rule is that the reading room must be completely quiet.

Computer Rooms

As a student at the University, you have access to several computer rooms. Use your HiG Card to enter the rooms. All computer rooms have Microsoft Office, PDF readers and printing facilities. Via Remote Desktop you have access to all programmes provided by the University.
