UQ students, book a soundproof booth at the Central, Dorothy Hill or Biological Sciences libraries for a fun new study experience.
Try the booths and complete a short survey to tell us what you think! We'd love to hear from you.
About the booths
The booths are soundproofed, enclosed spaces. Feel free to make some noise — you won't affect the people around you. Jump inside to:
- Take a private meeting or call
- Practice a presentation
- Listen to music without headphones.
We have both one-person and larger two-person booths.
Features
Inside you will find:
- Convenient device charging (1 power point, 1 USB-C and 1 USB-A)
- Good ventilation and automatic lights
- Felt lining on the walls for comfort.
The one-person booth has a bench, height-adjustable stool and footrest. The two-person booths offers a central table with a seat on either side.
