INFORMATION ITEM: Matt Gaunt and Cyndi Curnutte joined LMT to discuss the Ellis Library space renovation component of the Proposed Student Library Fee.
ACTION ITEM: LMT chose one of four possible revisions to the 1ST Floor renovation plan of Ellis Library. The new options all open up sightlines and create a more natural traffic flow between the new spaces that will be created on the first floor.
INFORMATION ITEM: Each of the new fist floor plans (mentioned above) rearrange areas that were created in previous drafts and discussions. The new spaces that may be created on the first floor include:
-
More study spaces in general
- Well lit glass alcoves near East windows
- Computer stations
- “Plug and play” stations
- More soft seating
- Casual study and meet places
- Additional study rooms
- A Maker Space
- Electronic Classroom
- Digital Media labs
- Digital Media offices
- Additional office space for new positions
(All renovation plans are part of the student fee proposal and would only be possible with new funding. They also will require moving more of the Library collection to offsite storage. )
INFORMATION ITEM: From the agreed upon first floor space plan, Matt Gaunt hopes to acquire high quality renderings to help promote the Proposed Student Library Fee.
