The UC Santa Barbara library began phase 2 of its reopening on April 26, allowing students to access an increasing number of limited study spaces as public health guidelines allow them to increase indoor capacity in a four-phase plan.Â
The first-floor Mountain Side Paseo Commons and the first-floor Mountain Side North and South areas are now open at 25% capacity.Â
Because of social distancing, all of the seats currently available are for individual study only, Hannah Rael, the libraryâs communications and marketing manager, said.Â
