Dissertation Writer’s Room

There’s a new study space on campus especially for doctoral candidates. The Graduate Division and Doe Library’s Graduate Services have created a Dissertation Writer’s Room, which opened its doors for the first time this morning. The Dissertation Writer’s Room, located in 215 Doe at the back of Graduate Services, is reserved for students who wish to work quietly on their dissertations. Currently, it has table space for six in addition to two reading chairs. More work spaces will be added  as use grows.

To access the Dissertation Writer’s Room, you must go through Graduate Services, which is located in 208 Doe. Because this study area and library are reserved for graduate student, faculty, and staff use, you’ll need to show your Berkeley ID when you enter. The hours for the newly minted Dissertation Writer’s Room are Monday through Thursday, 9 am to 9 pm; Friday, 9 am to 5 pm; and Sunday, 1 pm to 9 pm. Happy writing!
