24/7 study spaces for medical students:

At the Smilow Building, the former Faculty Dining Room across from the Smilow Cafe has been converted to student study space and now has 45 carrels. Medical Center ID is required to access the space at all times.

At Eastbridge Landing (the former NYU Child Study Center) at 577 First Avenue, there are small group study rooms and carrels on the 1st floor. Medical Center ID is required to access the building at all times.

At Greenberg Hall, apartments 5V, 5O, and 1J have been retro-fitted with study carrels.

At Alumni Hall C, additional study carrels have been added.

At the 25th Street Residence Hall, apartments 112 and 113 have been retro-fitted with study carrels and tables for group studying.

Wireless access is available in all of these study spaces. Additionally, students can print using the Pharos system to either of the two printers on the 2nd floor of Coles or to the one printer in Vilcek Hall.

At Bellevue Hospital, NYU School of Medicine students, faculty, and staff have full onsite access and borrowing privileges. The Bellevue Medical Library is on the 14th floor of the Hospital building (14N12). It features 20 computers connected to the NYU network and 4 computers on the Bellevue network (for Misys access). Unfortunately, wireless access and printing are not available at this location. Normal operating hours are 8am - 5pm Monday - Friday.

At the Manhattan VA, NYU School of Medicine students are welcome to use the Waldmann Dental Library. The Waldmann Dental Library is on the 2nd floor of the VA. It currently features wireless access through your NetID (like Bobst) but does not offer printing for medical students. Hours are currently restricted by VA Security until the building is completely repaired, it is open from 7:30am - 8pm Monday - Friday. Everyone must be out of the building by 8pm. Access when staff isn't present is by swiping an activated purple NYU ID. Those without activated purple NYU IDs will be limited to the hours the facility is staffed, typically 8am - 8pm.

At Bobst Library, NYU School of Medicine students, faculty, and staff have full onsite access and borrowing privileges. The student study spaces on the lower two levels are open 24 hours as long as you have your valid student ID. The rest of Bobst Library has many potential study spaces and a lot of resources and is open 7am - 1am normally. NYU students and faculty should have full access to their wireless network, including all resources. NYU provides shuttle service between NYU Langone Medical Center and the Washington Square campus on Route E.

Medical students should also be able to use and reserve all graduate student study spaces.

Many of our local colleagues have stepped forward and offered NYU's medical students the ability to use study space in their libraries until we have our own spaces opened again. Three potential outside options are for you to go to the Samuel J. Wood Library at Weill Cornell Medical College, the Augustus C. Long Health Sciences Library at Columbia University, or the Gustave L. and Janet W. Levy Library at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
