This place is huge. Tons of space and lots of room. Good lighting. Good place to study. Depending on month open super late also. I like to take the stairs also. Elevators take too long and give me a headache. I get nauseous easily. I bend my knees and try to prevent some of the movement which helps a lot. But I’d rather take stairs.

Nice clean and quiet place to visit and study. Library also offers free books to read within the library or if you have membership( for me as a student) you can borrow books from here.

The most peaceful place at NJIT. Love the environment, seating arrangement, ambiance, everything about it.

One of the best place in NJIT.
Ample space for students to study and have group discussions.
Private conference rooms are available for students have their group study or seminar practice together.
Best part are the availability of the books. Ample of space for students to use individual computers and do their assignments.
Every student of NJIT must visit the library and use all the facilities.

Nice computer stations. However, there is too much talking. Not sure if this is supposed to be a quiet zone. Staff is slow. Waited approximately 30 minutes for the lab consultant to grant me access. No one else was able to help

Cool library. Great place to get some quiet work done in the basement of the library. The breakout rooms are plenty and roomy. They do get really hot though because there is no AC in those rooms for some reason. Elevator sucks, just take the stairs because it will literally take the same amount of time. They don't allow you to bring in food in the upper levels so just bring your food downstairs where it is allowed and then take the elevator to the top floors.

Looks clean. Just remember that the Martin Business school entrance is the Van Houten library entrance. They're sandwiched in the same building on campus!

This is the place I spent my most time during my masters. Very convenient and you can choose to get a quiet place or a group study corner too. I once forgot my Mac charger here but when I asked them if they found it, they were very helpful and located it in lost and found. I would definitely recommend this place for students who need a place to focus.

It could be more quiet, especially in the stacks which is the one place it's suppose to be quiet. While studying you can count on frequent interruptions from people taking phone calls, eating, or talking to others.

Great place to study. There's probably no other place i have spent longer at the college. Provides a quiet area to study. Also they've got tables with outlets under them for charging devices.

This is the place where I spent most of my time for study. The Bloomberg Lab, locates at the ground floor inside the building, is a perfect place to get hands-on experience for SoM students. Free printing service (less than 25 pages per printing request) is available, so considerate.
