Construction on the fifth floor has officially begun! The books have been moved, the shelves have been taken down, and the study carrels are out. In a few short months, give or take, staff from User Services, User Experience, and Research and Scholarly Communication will call this their new home.
The staff area will include a mix of open and private workspace, ample collaborative meeting space, focus rooms and other touch down areas, as well as a lounge/kitchen. The design and color palette of the area will draw inspiration from ‘winter on campus’ and include a mix of light and navy blues, with light millwork to complement the existing concrete. Check out the design mockup below for a sense of what our new space will look like!
