Zoning Plan
The study areas in the KIT Library are divided into different zones to provide optimal learning conditions and create an atmosphere that supports both focused individual work and productive group work. Signage in the divisions helps you find the right zone.
An overview of our three study areas:
Green Spaces
Conversations are expressly encouraged here. Groups can work together, exchange ideas, or participate in video conferences and join in the discussion.

Working Together for a Better Learning Environment
The zoning concept depends on everyone’s cooperation. It is important both to follow the rules in each Division and to be considerate of one another. Furthermore, it helps significantly when users act as advocates in their own circles and draw attention to the rules. In this way, a learning environment can be created that meets a variety of needs.
