The Pine Lounge was originally a formal smoking lounge for men during the 1940s. But in this day and age, it's one of the go-to places to get some serious studying, resting or relaxation done. Easy to locate in the northwest wing of the main floor, the Pine Lounge is one of the most quiet places to study in the Illini Union.

Initially built as a small library, the President's Lounge has evolved into an intimate and quaint space to concentrate on coursework. The serene nature of this space allows for one's full attention to their studies and it is situated between the Art Gallery and Pine Lounged in the northwest wing of the building.

With a gorgeous view looking out onto the Quad, the South Lounge is an open study area with panoramic windows that let the sunlight shine through. The two fireplaces on either side are flanked by plush chairs and couches, with the center of the room equipped with several seating areas for individual or group studies.
