Study space for the University’s students (on Hongo Campus)

We will offer our students at least as many study seats as are currently provided (approx. 600 seats) in the Library Plaza (planned to open in July) located in the General Library Annex, and some facilities on Hongo Campus.
These facilities are Yasuda Auditorium (4F), Sanjo Conference Hall (2F), and Faculty of Medicine Bldg. 1 (1F and 3F). Shown below are the service details provided at each facility. For their locations, please see the attached sheet(pdf).
 

• You will need your student ID card to use the study spaces.
• You can find floor plans of the facilities and information about when the study spaces are not available due to events, etc. on the Library’s website. Since the information is regularly updated, please make sure you have the very latest information.
• Wireless LAN (UTokyo WiFi) is available at Sanjo Conference Hall, Faculty of Medicine Bldg. 1, and the Library Plaza in the General Library Annex. Wireless LAN is not provided at Yasuda Auditorium in order to maintain a quiet study environment. Thus, please refrain from bringing or using your PC at Yasuda Auditorium.
