A Closer Look

Here’s a closer look at the entry room (‘A’ on the floorplan in the previous posting) of the new after-hours study space at the University of Virginia Health Sciences Library.  The space is also available when the library is open, and we have observed that this room is a favorite of the students.  The students seem to like to create their own environment, and the portable whiteboards allow them to create rooms within a room without using a sense of community with other students studying in the room.  The room is also outifitted with the tools they need to study: computers, whiteboards, and a printer/copier.  (Note: the artwork is by Roberto Rios, Gabe Rios’ father.)
