Over the summer Babson staff were busy adding some improvements to the library facility. 
We have rearranged furniture to create comfortable spaces and have purchased plants that you’ll see throughout the building.
We have also had an upgrade to the wireless infrastructure which should improve access throughout Babson.
The Main Floor of Babson has a new addition of the Technology Solutions Center. 
This redesigned ITS help desk is intended to assist all students, faculty, and staff and is conveniently located directly across from the Information Desk.
The Second Floor continues to be our “group study” floor.
We have purchased additional comfortable seatings and rearranged tables to create study areas.
You’ll notice our “Collaboration Station” allows for up to 4 students to share a laptop image on a large wall screen.
On one end of the second floor we have established a “teaching area” to be used for classes and larger study groups who wish to visit the library.
A long table seats up to 24 people. Markers for the white board in this area can be checked out at the Information Desk.
The Academic Success Center “Locus” is also located on the second floor.
Students can meet with their content tutors here or confer in any area of the building.
The Third Floor continues to be the “quiet floor”.
We have added a few areas of comfortable seating but continue to provide mostly tables and study carrels for students who want a quiet and structured space.
We’ve purchased new lights for the study carrell rooms for more effective illumination. Please mute your cell phones and take calls downstairs so that all can enjoy the one really quiet study space on campus.
We are open 106.5 hours a week to assist students and faculty. Please let us know if the changes have improved your study experience or if there is something we can do to improve.
