Benefits of Soundproof Booths in Universities and Libraries

Have you ever considered how the layout of the campus impacts student success? Whether it’s the constant search for a quiet place to study or finding a private spot for a group project, students often struggle with balancing focus and collaboration. Providing spaces that address these common pain points is key to creating an environment that truly supports student well-being and productivity.

That’s where Inbox Booths come in. Universities around BC, like Kwantlen Polytechnic University and the University of Fraser Valley, as well as in the USA, like Baylor University in Texas, have already started integrating soundproof working booths into their campuses. But the benefits of our Inbox Booths go far beyond just offering students quiet study spots.

Let’s talk about how these booths can transform your campus and improve the overall student experience—while also meeting administrative needs for flexibility and cost-efficiency.

Benefits of Using Inbox Booths in Universities and Libraries

#1 Improving Productivity

Being a student isn’t easy. Between juggling multiple deadlines, group projects, and personal commitments, students often find themselves stretched thin. Many are living away from home for the first time, trying to balance the pressures of academics with their personal growth. While universities are filled with great energy, that energy can quickly turn into a distraction. Whether it’s the ongoing conversations in hallways or the constant flow of people in and out of common areas, finding a quiet place to focus is tough. Inbox Booths offer students a peaceful place right on campus — whether they need a space to crank out a paper, join a video call, or even catch up on some reading.

Inbox Booths solve this problem by offering private, soundproof areas where students can concentrate on their tasks. With customizable features like standing desks, integrated seating, and even fogging glass for added privacy, these booths are designed to meet diverse needs on campus. Whether it’s for solo studying or group work, our Inbox Booths come in a variety of sizes and dimensions to give students the space they need to excel academically.

#2 A Flexible Solution for University Administrators

For university administrators, flexibility is key. Campuses are constantly evolving—whether it’s the student body growing or the needs for different learning spaces changing. Inbox Booths offer the adaptability that campus spaces need. Want to move the booths from one building to another? No problem—our moving kits make the process simple and hassle-free. Plus, with custom sizing and the option to integrate your school’s branding, the booths can blend into the design and culture of your institution, making them feel like a natural part of the campus.

And it doesn’t stop there. Our booths are not only cost-effective but also much more sustainable than traditional construction methods. With less waste, no need for permits, and a much lower carbon footprint, you can feel good about making an environmentally conscious choice. Installation? That takes just a day, so there’s minimal disruption to the daily campus rhythm—meaning less downtime and more productivity for everyone.

#3 Updating Study Spaces in University Libraries

Libraries are the heart of academic life, but they’re not always equipped to offer the private spaces students need for focused work. Our booths would integrate easily into library settings, providing a quiet, distraction-free zone for students to get things done.

Our booths come with features like soundproofing and customizable seating arrangements, making them ideal for individual study or small group sessions. They are particularly beneficial in high-traffic areas where finding a quiet spot can be a challenge.

#4 Supporting Public Libraries with Quiet, Flexible Spaces

Beyond universities, public libraries also face the challenge of offering both collaborative and quiet workspaces. Inbox Booths provide a modular solution that’s perfect for libraries looking to create private study areas without undertaking expensive renovations. With quick installation and a modern design, our Inbox Booths can improve the functionality of any public library.

Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what a BC Public Library said about adding our booths into their space:

“Adding Inbox Booths to our library has been a game-changer for our students. They’re almost always in use, especially during exam season, providing a much-needed quiet space for focused study. Students tell us they love having a private spot to really dig into their work without distractions, and we’ve noticed they’re staying longer and getting more done. The booths have truly enhanced the study experience here.”
