We are pleased to annonce that the Student Fee Capital Improvement Committee has decided to fund $29,959 toward our request for the expansion of the 4th floor study space in Ellis Library.
Since Ellis Library will be losing 40% of student study space during Renew Mizzou, we need to expand our available study space in other areas. We will expand the current study area on 4th Floor East by taking down rooms 4C12 & 4B11, repainting the north wall and upgrading the current electrical load. We are also hoping to upgrade the electrical on the south side of 4th Floor East, which is already in use as a study space. Soft seating from the 1st floor study areas and current library furniture will continue to be redistributed in the area.
As Renew Mizzou will be using all of the quiet study space in Ellis, acoustic sound dampening material will be installed throughout these areas and in Rm 4D11 to help with noise.
We are hoping to complete the project this summer.
Pat Jones and PT Martin submitted the proposal on behalf of the MU Libraries.
