These collaborative learning spaces grew out of conversations with students. They said that even though they have 24/7 access to information, they still need a retreat from their noisy dorm or apartment. Students told us they must have a place where they can get still get research help but also have a spot that is conducive to studying either alone or with a group. These spaces accomplishes that.
Students now have full use of all of these remodeled and repurposed spaces!!
The library was designed to have areas for quiet study. However with the implementation of new Designated Quiet Zones (and the 7' signs over your head) it is now easier than ever to find a quiet place to go. Check out these new areas on the 3rd and 4th floor, just beyond the elevators.As a part of the renovation project more Group Zones were created. Areas on the 1st and 2nd floors, Group Study rooms on all floors, and room 446 on the 4th floor are all designated as Group Zones. While individuals may work here, collaboration is encouraged and noise levels may be elevated.
Meeting Place 2 & 4 are semi-enclosed spaces in rooms 248 & 446. The areas can accomodate up to 16 & 36 people respectively. The areas feature flexible furniture and movable whiteboard partitions. A laptop may be checked out and hooked up to large screen monitors for presentations.
