Active Preparation for 334 Changes
To meet the needs of the 334 curriculum changes and the expanded student population, the Library has undertaken various initiatives and projects which have succeeded in:
- Increasing and Creating New Spaces
- Expanding Collections
- Enhancing Learning Support
- Supporting General Education
The Library Extension, completed in spring 2011, added 1,800m2 of floor space. In February 2012, the Library opened a Learning Commons with a technology-rich environment. In addition to increasing user seats to 2,900, and adding new flexible and state-of-the-art facilities, the Library has begun to buy additional e-books and other materials to support common core courses and general education. During the spring 2012 examination period, the new Learning Commons stayed open 22 hours a day (until 6am) to support learning and study; while the two new E-Learning Classrooms, Tutorial Space, and multifunction room have already proven popular with students, faculty, and staff members.
