Terrapin Learning Commons

The Terrapin Learning Commons (TLC) encompasses most of the public space on the 2nd floor of McKeldin Library. Overseen by the TLC Tech Desk, the space serves as an ideal location for activities that are noisier, more energetic, or more collaborative, in contrast to the quieter and more reserved areas of McKeldin.

The Terrapin Learning Commons features:

• Mac and Windows desktop computers
• Space and outlets for working on a personal device
• Outdoor balcony study space on the Portico
• A variety of comfortable furniture
• Black-and-white and color printers
• Bookable group study rooms, specialty meeting rooms, and other special purpose spaces
• Easy access to technology and equipment (such as laptops, chargers, tablets, cameras, and more) loaned from the TLC Tech Desk
• Specialty technology labs for audio recording or digitizing and converting old media
• Convenient services and helpful staff located at the TLC Tech Desk
