Renovations Update - Week of July 28

| | Comments (2)

Now that the new carpet is in place we'll be adding new furniture this week, although you may have noticed the addition of some great new soft seating on the east side of the first floor last week. In addition to some painting work, you'll see lots of new furniture being assembled all week on the first floor west of Paley Library. Most of this furniture will be for our computer work area. Not only are we adding new furniture but we'll also be adding more computers to the area. Our new reference desk may be arriving this week as well. We also hope to have our self-service book checkout machines back in place and operating soon.

Renovations are also happening on the lower level of the Paley Library. Currently construction is taking place to create a new service desk area and to add several media viewing/study rooms. During this construction process the lower level is a bit of a mess. We recommend that you explore the second and third floors for good study and computing areas.

Thanks again to the Temple community for their patience and support during our renovation process.

I personally think that the darker part of the carpet should have been used for the entrance to under the Mezzanine, and the lighter carpet which is there now, for the computer area.

Or the darker carpets for both areas of this first floor renovation. The lighter shade will show stains more easily than dark carpet. Lighter carpet will surely have more traffic.

Why does the new furniture at the Paley Library look like swastikas?
