Fredericton Campus (see below for Saint John Campus)
Graduate Student Lounge
With uCard access for all UNB graduate students, this three room multi-use lounge provides space for studying, gathering, and for conducting and discussing research. Includes access to a kitchenette and an interview/digital research room with an all-in-one PC and webcam.
Spaces will be bookable for graduate societies and events. We encourage graduate students from all disciplines to come to collaborate (and commiserate!) with others across campus. This is a safe space for all students in various stages of their degrees.
Graduate Student Lockers are available for rent in the Graduate Lounge. Complete a HILRC Locker Application Form. You will then be contacted via email regarding how to pay and retrieve your key. Each locker has a $15.00 annual fee.

Saint John Campus
Current UNB students in a PhD program or thesis-based Master’s program, who do not have an assigned workspace on campus, can book room 210 in the Hans W. Klohn Commons during normal library hours
Graduate students that have access to workspaces through their academic departments and/or supervisor assigned spaces are not eligible to reserve the room.
Students are required to apply for access to this space, and must reapply each year at the start of the fall semester. Once approved, registered students can book the space using the library’s room booking system.
Study room bookings are limited to 7 hours per day, and up to a maximum of 21 hours per 7 days. Bookings can be from 1-7 hours long. You can book up to 7 days in advance of your visit.
You will need to pick up a room key at the Library Services Desk in the HWK Commons prior to your booking and return the key by the end of your booking. You will need to present your UCard when you pick up the key. Do not take the key from the building.
