Mearns Centre for Learning (MCL)

Good place to study as long as you can find a spot during busy hours. The library has four floors of books with various subjects and resources. The staff is also very helpful when needed and there are rooms available for reservations which is good for study groups. Students will get the most of the library but for visitors it can be useful for finding good information.The layout is efficient and has a variety of workspaces as long as it's not a busy hour. The lower floor has some nice areas to sit and read as well as some good quiet space for studying. The main floor has some printers available for use at 7 cents a page from a student onecard. There are also some decent table spaces for group work or personal work. The second floor has many tables for group work in the main area but single desks can be found around the bookshelf's for quiet work close to a window. The third floor is a quiet workplace only and has many single desks. This floor is the best for efficient uninterrupted work.Overall, a necessary student workspace that has everything one would need. The only thing holding it back is the lack of workspaces around the campus which can make the library, like everywhere else on campus, cramped during peak school hours.

Being an MEng student at Uvic. Used this place so many times.

Great place to get work done and study!

very strong collection, great place to work

I like this place, There is always a room to stay and do your study and computer works

Decent library for studying if you're a student.

Excellent place to study and makes you very productive. But students are increasing every year(or seems like it) so its becoming very hard for students to find spaces especially during the midterm and finals season.

Very spacious with variety of study rooms. Can also borrow electronic devices like headphones and chargers if you are a student.

Always finish my assignments here! The atmosphere makes uni life seem a little less stressful and makes me feel way more productive.

Great place to study!!!
