Studying in the New AMBS Library

Since classes began in early September, students have raved about the openness, light and welcoming feel of the new library. Faculty also make their way to the library to spread out on the large tables and enjoy the expansive views. Daniel Schipani and Devon Miller are studying in the north reading area.

By mid-September the study carrel wiring was completed and we had keys to the cabinets. Each carrel has outlets for power and data connections as well as a study lamp under the book shelf. A key for the cabinet is available for a $20 deposit.

Students who had made requests selected their preferred location. Carrels on the north side have indirect light and an expansive view of the prairie grass germinating on the former construction site. Carrels on the south side have views of the rain gardens and direct sunlight to combat the northern Indiana winter blues. To avoid eyestrai, Grace Mishler selected a carrel with limited daylight.
