SUNY Poly Library offers 315 seats in the Library’s public open areas, many of which have access to natural light and great views. Reliable wireless networking and power are also abundant throughout.
SUNY Polytechnic Institute Library’s study rooms, meeting rooms, and lab spaces are dedicated to serving the overall educational needs of the SUNY Poly community.
Reservation requests that do not serve to further the educational experience of the SUNY Poly community will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Contact the library at library@sunypoly.edu with questions.
Reservations outside of library open hours will also be considered on a case-by-case basis. In consultation with University Police, a designated SUNY Poly faculty or staff member may be required to monitor the building during events that are held when the building is not otherwise open.
