Team Spot Seating has arrived


The Research Commons now has new seating between the banquettes. The seating on the east side of the building will face a large dry erase board and the seating on the wast side of the building will be a Team Spot location.

New lights for the Research Commons


There are now new lights and power poles for the first floor Research Commons. When finished movable tables and chairs will be centered around the columns. The poles will allow students to plug in without stretching cords across the floor, creating dangerous situations.

New Group Spaces on 4th floor



With the addition of movable walls on the fourth floor, four new group study spaces are now open. The walls are on locking casters and double as dry erase boards. Students are using them already. Check them out on your next trip to the printing press or library administration. (at the top of the stairs turn left, they are in the glassed in area)

The Banquettes have arrived


There are now four banquettes for group seating in the Research Commons! Groups of up to four can work in these new seating areas. Priority goes to group seating, so if you are sitting solo and a group needs the space, please be prepared to move. (Comfy seating for solo study is on the way). White boards and more group furniture will be added in the coming months.
