It’s midterm season and you are desperate to find a nice and quiet place to put your brain to work. You hopelessly wander around campus looking for peace and quiet. The people in your dorm hallway are blasting music, the lawns are being hit by the scalding sun and the library is filled with the inescapable hustle and bustle of students. The Robert and Elizabeth Lang memorial garden is the solution to your quandary.
The garden was named in honor of the two librarians upon their retirement. This secluded area beside the Rivera Library, is a spot overlooked by many students. It is located behind the brick wall enclosure around Rivera library, right after the Life Sciences 1500 lecture hall. The space can be accessed from the outside where a door is usually open or from the inside on the ground floor of the library.
This area is perfect for literature lovers as the tall glass windows provide an enchanting look into countless rows of books. Benches and tables with yellow umbrellas are scattered around the area and the quiet is perfect for avoiding distractions. The ivy covered brick gives the courtyard a magical feeling, which is sure to help you master your midterm revisions in no time. Next time you feel overwhelmed or in need of a study spot, try to visit the Robert and Elizabeth Lang memorial garden.
