Health Sciences Library Unveils New and Improved Mastronardi Information Center
|
Students are already reaping the benefits of the renovated Mastronardi Information Center in the Health Sciences Library. The newly configured multi-function space features workstations with seating for 11, standing workspace, a glass whiteboard and a 3-D printer, which was donated by Mark A. Novitch, M.D. '58. The room will be available 24/7 and groups may reserve the space subject to availability. A Student IT Help Desk will be located in the room with help available from 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
"Libraries have historically been communal learning spaces offering shared resources that can be used by everyone. This space is in part envisioned as an extension of just that - as a place where students and researchers can come to innovate, collaborate and create," said Marie Ascher, M.S., the Lillian Hetrick Huber Endowed Director of the Health Sciences Library. "A student recently asked me if it will be a "talky space" or a quiet space. I'd like to see more than just quiet study happening in here and, with the addition of technology like a 3-D printer, my hope is that we will see creative uses of the room and equipment. Our students are already coming up with some very interesting project concepts."
The existing Mark A. Novitch, M.D., '58 Computer Lab in room 108 in the Health Sciences Library remains open for student use and teaching. The 3-D printer is undergoing final calibrations before it will be available for use.
