What's Going On?
The Cornette Library decided to make some changes to the seminar rooms in the library. Over the 2021-2022 holiday break, we repainted the rooms and started to add some sound dampening measures to lessen the amount of noise traveling between the rooms and the silent areas of the library. The first step was to add insulation in the drop ceilings and door sweeps to the bottom of the study room doors. Over Spring Break 2022 we added 90 degree boots at the return air ducts in the drop down ceilings and sound absorbing acoustical tiles to the walls.

Seminar A before the makeover. Notice how the whiteboard seems to melt into the tan paint on the wall? This photo also shows our old wooden tables. Now we have smaller mobile tables that allow for various table configurations for better collaboration!
