Sensory friendly maps

These maps are designed for users with sensory sensitivities who are looking for study spaces that fit their needs. In these maps, we highlight spaces in the Hill and Hunt Libraries that have natural or warm lighting, tend to be quiet, or tend to be uncrowded. These maps were designed with autistic users in mind, but they may be helpful for all users of the Libraries.

You can also Explore Spaces to find rooms and areas of the Libraries by lighting type, sound level, and other filters.
