Group Computing and Group Meeting spaces on First floor


The first floor Research Commons is full of activity these days as students work and meet in the research commons. The newest additions to the space are the specialty made collaborative computer stations and the group meeting tables. Both of these tables were made from old carrels and shelving end panels. The new chairs can be rolled wherever they are needed in the space. The group meeting tables have wheels so tables can be moved to allow for groups of 2-6. At each column in the group meeting space there are power poles to allow students to hook up and power their mobile device or laptop. There are still some more additions to come. To help define the area there is signage, dry erase boards and privacy dividers. We are also waiting on the computers, Team Spot hardware, and the new chairs for the lounge. But students seem to like the changes so far!

Meeting Place 2 furniture arrives

The bungee tables and chairs for Meeting Place 2 (room 248) have arrived. These tables can be moved to create many configurations or folded up and out of the way.

The chairs can also be folded and stacked. A large monitor with HDMI hook up and a laptop allow for media presentations. This space will be available for student groups, faculty and campus groups to use for meetings, presentations and events. Movable dry erase walls create a sense of privacy and some noise reduction. It is NOT a classroom space. Keep watching the website for information on reserving this space.
