Renovations to the southern section of the Learning Commons are complete! Designed to help students succeed in their studies, the space is very flexible to accommodate a variety of work and groups of all sizes. Specific features include movable furniture, comfortable furniture and café seating for more laid back meeting space, technology that allows students to work collaboratively with laptops by projecting up to 6 laptops on large flat-screen TVs, and more than 161,000 square inches of dry erase surfaces in the form of walls, transportable boards and tables.

Please come check out the new space in the Learning Commons!
