HSL Opens New Reading Room
The normally quiet and peaceful Health Sciences Library (HSL) was temporarily a place of festivity for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the official opening of a new reading room on November 25. Not long after the ribbon was cut, the spacious area, formerly occupied by journal stacks and now designated quiet study space, was filled with students enjoying the high ceilings, natural light, ergonomic seating, adjustable height workstations, spacious desks and seating booths with electrical and USB outlets throughout. The classrooms in the HSL as well as the Mark A. Novitch, M.D. '58, Computer Lab, were also appointed with new furniture.
