Study rooms are available for VUMC personnel individually or in groups with no restrictions regarding number of rooms checked out at once.

time the request was taken).
-
Two of the rooms (124 & 305) may be reserved ahead of time (by Medical Center personnel only). No reservations for group study rooms will
