Quiet Study Space available in Knapp Hall

Because renovation is noisy business (at least, the demolition part has proven to be pretty noisy so far), we have arranged to have a quiet study space available in Knapp Hall. The former cafeteria (for those of you who remember dining on campus before the Campus Center opened) will be a designated quiet study space for the duration of the noisy parts of renovation. For now, it will be open Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm.

Removal and demo continue on the 2nd floor in preparation for renovation. On the main floor, the reference stacks are being emptied by helpful student employees. All reference books will be available by request during renovation.

Some of our reference stacks. Future home of 30 computers and expansive views out our windows. Reference books will be housed along the outer walls of the main floor and on low-profile shelves.

 We realize that demolition is just as noisy as reno, so we are in the process of setting up a quiet study space in another building. As soon as it is available (possibly as soon as next week) we will make an announcement and post signs directing solitude-seeking summer students to the quiet study space. 

We will keep any chairs in good condition for the basement level, which will be a quiet study space after renovation.
