SFU Library

A large library with lots of books and resources. That being said, the bathrooms are always very dirty, and in general, the place could improve on its overall cleanliness. However, the staff are very helpful and there are some quiet places to study. Also the brand new Maker's Commons is a great place to use the 3d printers, audio and video studios, lazer cutters, and other cool stuff.

I don't know whether this is a routine or not but many times in the silent area there is construction and staff cleaning the library and it's extremely noisy. It would be better if they cleaned the library outside working hours because no one can concentrate with all this noise going on. Also the staff talk very loud aside from all the machines they use.

avoid going to graduate common spaces in the library if you are undergraduate students. it's so easy to spot undergrads and it can be embarrassing when you are asked to leave. in reality, when undergrads enter research Commons after working hours , there is no one really to ask for help. Also, recently I noticed some students take advantage of absence of staffs after office hours and have their own gathering with food in room 7010 and when they get noisy, it easily can be heard from the study area :( PS: very limited quiet and clean spaces leave alone old tacky restrooms that are often neglected

Typical library . Noise level varies depending on the time, day and area. Sucks that there is no visitor/guest wifi so if you are not an SFU student and need to study in the library just be aware. Nice views of campus.
