A good place to go for group work or individual work. The first floor was recently renovated, so there are new computer labs and big booths with large screen displays for meetings. The top three floors have study rooms and are relatively quiet. It is open until 2:00 AM on certain days for late-nite studying, but be aware that all non-students need to leave at 11:00 PM.

Memories, calm, and multiple floors of different sound levels (the higher you go, the quieter it gets!). Alumni can use the premises and PCs with their alumni card, and there's hours that last until 12am on several days during the week, minus some days. Before the pandemic there were more people. So, if you want a good library experience, thanks to the pandemic, you're actually in good luck because there's less people there, now! So you don't have to go being the typical shushing librarian type! P.S. You have to swipe to get into the library (at least I did on a Saturday). Maybe this is only for the weekends, so keep your ID handy. You'll need it to check out books and other materials, and to print (which isn't free unless you're printing at the CDM building at the Loop!). Don't forget your student login, because that's the only way you can use DePaul computers, too. Go on, now, and enjoy that videogame rental section at the Richardson Library, why don't ya (huh?!)?

It's really a good library overall. 4 floors of space. As a student, you can check out expo markers, dry erase boards, and borrow phone chargers. 3rd and 4th floor quiet study floors are pretty useful. Only complaint is there is a weird noise that constantly occurs on the first floor that gets pretty annoying.

My favorite place on campus! The staff is helpful, the place is stocked with great material, and the computers have Adobe Creative Cloud installed on them. The 1st and 2nd floor are great for projects, and the 3rd and 4th floors are super quiet and amazing for studying.

A gorgeous, modern library with all of the classic Vincentian tradition DePaul is known and renowned for! Look for the stained glass windows and their didactics to learn more about the library and St. Vincent.
