Melbourne (Bundoora)
You cannot book rooms in the Borchardt Library, with the exception of the Accessibility and Inclusion rooms for eligible students (see below). However, you can book meeting spaces and alcoves in The Learning Commons (TLC) building, which is next to the Library.
The Borchardt Library at the Melbourne (Bundoora) campus has three levels, each designed for progressively quieter study.
- Level 1: Talk – Group discussions are welcome on this level, and there are meeting rooms that you can use for individual or group work. There is also a café and the ASK La Trobe Help Zone at the front of the Library.
- Level 2: Quiet – Group discussions are acceptable, but they should be kept to a considerate noise level so other Library patrons are not disturbed. There are meeting rooms you can use, as well as the Online Learning Zone (see below).
- Level 3: Silent – This level is for silent individual study. There should not be any group discussions on this level.
The Borchardt Library's Accessibility and Inclusion rooms are available to eligible students registered with Accessibility and Inclusion.
These rooms can be booked for up to three hours and are available during the Library's face-to-face support hours. For bookings, feedback or support, please contact the Library.
