Navigate to your study space

Are you looking for a place to study? Be on the lookout for GPS Waypoints around campus. These are General Purpose Study spaces. They are designed, managed, and maintained with student needs in mind by the Office of Classroom Management (OCM). When you find a gold pushpin marking a GPS Waypoint, you'll know that it's an OCM maintained study space.

Summer schedule for Scheduling Update

Scheduling Update will be taking a short break over the summer. There will be no regularly scheduled Scheduling Updates
in June or July. It will resume again on August 1, running on the
first and third Wednesday of the month through the academic year.


Scheduling update: Summer projects impacting classroom availability

From lighting updates to furniture replacements to technology upgrades,
general purpose classrooms and study spaces often get a refresh during
the summer months. Project team and technicians will be on campus this
summer in the following buildings: Amundson, Anderson, Burton, Ford,
Hodson, Kolthoff, Ruttan, Skok, Willey, Vincent, and more. To learn
more about Office of Classroom Management (OCM) projects, visit the OCM projects webpage.  



In addition to our internal projects, Capital Planning and Project Management
also has a lot of work to complete this summer. One of their projects,
which will directly impact many general purpose classrooms, is the
waterproofing of the exterior plaza this summer in St. Paul. Since the
plaza sits above both Ruttan and Magrath classrooms, many of these
classrooms will be held offline for the duration of the project. Please
review the General Purpose Classroom Schedule Viewer for current information on classroom closures.
