Like many institutions, UNCG’s University Libraries has invested in a space renovation of its Library Tower in Jackson Library to support student learning. New furniture and technology have been added to floors two through five to provide improved group spaces, along with a variety of other arrangements. New seating options, larger tables, post and beam structures and whiteboards are just a few of the recent improvements. In addition, spaces on floors two and three have been enhanced with technology and software, such as dual monitors, large screen displays and power sources.
University Libraries Facilities Manager Will Cook has been overseeing the project since its inception, which began in the spring of 2017. “One huge challenge for University Libraries has been accommodating the growing UNCG student population and finding creative ways to add more seats in Jackson Library, ” said Cook. “We hope our efforts will create a space that is collaborative, innovative, and technology-enhanced.”
The project is scheduled to be completed during the summer of 2019. Information about each area is available on University Library’s website, along with the ability to reserve the space.
