Noise in the Library
Please make sure that the library is a quite place of study and not to talk. It has been getting louder everyday with no one saying anything.
Thank you for your comments about the issue of the noise in the library. We are really wrestling with this issue since the Campus Center just closed for construction and students have had no where else to go. For example, approximately 8,000 students came into the library on the first day of the semester (we only have 950 seats), so the noise has been really out of control. Part of the beauty of this building is also a "noise nightmare" since the noise reverberates up the stairs and throughout the building. We have increased cadets who are walking through the building. In addition, we put up two signs at the entrances to the building and I personally walk through the building asking people to keep their voices down. Until the new Campus Center is built, I think we will still struggle with this issue. Until then, please use the third floor and especially the area over the entrance to the library or the study carrels. Over Winter break we rearranged the lIbrary so that the 3rd floor is primarily carrels for quiet study. We put all the regular tables on the main floor where people can do group work. If you like, stop by my office and I (or my secretary Jennifer Cooper) can show you some quieter spots in the building.
