MWS Learning Commons

2 students with laptops in the learning commons at Brock University

The MWS Learning Commons is located in MWS 229 at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts. The room welcomes students from all departments and offers communal and silent learning spaces. Flooded with natural light, the Commons is a calm and habitual space that students gravitate toward year-round.

The main room is equipped with an array of seating and table space, allowing patrons to bring and use their own devices. The Silent Study room inside the Commons offers seating for 20 people and a flat screen display. This room can be booked for study groups, workshops, meetings, presentations and other events. Additional resources include four iMac computers, professional photo scanner, photocopier, 3D printers, 3D scanner, vinyl cutter and laminator. Additionally, the MWS Learning Commons is home to an ever-growing Zine collection, books issued by our own Small Walker Press, and a collection of student artwork curated annually, which livens up the fast-paced environment.

In combination with the James A. Gibson Library, the MWS Learning Commons offers book delivery services for Brock patrons. Books ready for pick up are placed on the grey mailing cart inside the space, right by the front doors for patrons to pick up. Books to be returned can be dropped off on this cart.
