Comments
Before renovation we had focus
groups with graduate students and
also talked with faculty representatives
about proposed changes in spaces for
these two groups.
Prior to renovation we visited other
libraries and looked at spaces they
provided for these groups.
Prior to renovation we had individual
faculty carrels on all floors. We
now have individual faculty carrels
on the two lower floors and group
faculty carrels on the two upper
floors. We had very small individual
graduate carrels on the floors before
renovation we now have group
graduate carrels on the floors. All
carrels are card-accessible via their
ID cards.
Deans (expert opinion) LibQUAL+®
Department chairs Some of the study rooms have been
in existence for decades, so the
methodology for their development is
unknown.

Committee (expert opinion)
Entire campus was surveyed in 2002,
2005 by LibQUAL+®.
Faculty and grad students in a variety
of departments across campus
participated in both our Humanities/
Social Sciences study and the
subsequent sciences assessment. We
heard the desire for grad study space
from the humanities /social sciences
group, but not from the sciences
group.
