• All Gender Restrooms:
  • UGA University Architects have compiled this list of unisex bathrooms complete with locations, the quantity of restrooms in each building, and whether they have handicap access. 
  • Independent student groups have created this spreadsheet listing gender-neutral bathrooms.

• The WEPA printer will occasionally need a paper refill. Copy paper is located in the cabinet next to the WEPA. Extra paper is kept in the supply closet across from the instruction lab, and frequent refilling is appreciated.
• The key to open the WEPA kiosk is at the Circulation desk.
• The status page for WEPA should be bookmarked in your browser. EITS is monitoring that page and will address more serious problems.

Each of the fourteen locations that constitute the UGA Libraries offer specialized services and collections. We've highlighted a few of these spaces below:

• Special Collections Library:
  • The SCL provides access to unique and rare materials related to the history and culture of Georgia. Items from the SCL cannot be checked out. Patrons can request reproductions and copies of the material, create an account to request to view SCL materials in person, or set up a consultation with an SCL research librarian for more in-depth assistance.
• McBay Science Library Makerspace
  • The Makerspace offers students access to 3D printers, laser cutters, virtual reality headsets, sewing machines, and many other tools, along with the training required to use them. 
• Data Studio @ Main
  • The Data Studio @ Main is a hub for interdisciplinary research focused on data access and visualization, GIS mapping, and other technology-enhanced research methods.
• Digital Media Lab
  • The DML at the Miller Learning Center provides UGA students access to the latest in multimedia software and hardware for the creation and editing of digital media projects. There is also a recording booth in this space.
