Thomas D. Clark Graduate Study

The Thomas D. Clark Graduate Study is a dedicated study space exclusively for graduate students (master's and PhD/EdD) and postdoctoral fellows/scholars. The space is made available through a partnership between UK Libraries and The Graduate School. 

This inspiring space is named in honor of Dr. Thomas D. Clark, long-time professor and chair of History at UK who helped establish UK Libraries' Special Collections and the University Press of Kentucky. The study includes sixteen study bays, and twelve private study "pods" with outlets for your personal devices, along with eight lounge chairs for reading, a large table for group work, and a stunning view looking west over the campus.

Visit the Clark Study on the fifth floor of William T. Young Library, in the west wing. (Scroll down for a floor map.) The Clark Study is accessible via UK ID card tap.  All graduate students' and postdocs' IDs should be programmed to grant access. PLEASE ENSURE YOU CLOSE AND SECURE THE DOOR AFTER BADGING IN.

If your ID does not work or you have any trouble accessing the study, please contact Dr. Morris Grubbs in the Graduate School or Melissa Barlow with UK Libraries for assistance.
