Project Areas

The library provides several areas for work on group projects and presentations.  The first floor of the library is used for group work and quiet conversation is encouraged. The Multi-Media Center is located on this floor and is available to make handouts for class use.

Although most of the second floor is reserved for quiet individual study, the front wall includes tables for group work and four group conference rooms, available of a first come, first served basis.  Two of these rooms are equipped with projectors to accommodate presentation preparation. VGA cables can be checked out at the circulation desk.
