With Finals Week "just around the corner," the Dickinson Complex Community Council helped us to plan for re-furbished study areas in the underutilized Dickinson Complex basements. Using their input, we are setting up a Quiet Study Lounge theme and a Group Study Lounge theme in each of the two shared basements so students can either work on their studying alone or in collaborate with a group. Characteristics of the Group Study Area will be a large 4 foot by 6 foot white board, sofas and other soft seating arrangements, and tables. The Quiet Study areas will have all study carrells and will emphasize studying alone. All the areas are being upgraded so that they have wall to wall carpeting, new Mecho shades on the windows, and new and brighter lighting. Signage now identifies the difference between the two areas. Hopefully this collaboration between Facilities and the Dickinson Student Government Group, will result in higher satisfaction and greater use of the areas.
