Bldg 100 Notes from User Group on September 13, 2013
For the architects: Please take the labels off that are naming disciplines (e.g., Comm, Science,
and ESL) as we want all areas to be considered multidisciplinary.
Also, as much glass throughout for doors and walls (for supervision and light).
Requested Items Not in Scope
1. Elevator - $500,000 (need access to hallway downstairs, to first floor of library, and to
mezzanine)
2. Bathroom renovation – not clear which bathrooms are being updated; all should be
renovated
3. Additional wireless access points within the general library and mezzanine (we
understand wireless will be in remodeled areas only)
4. Faster computer lab (in mezzanine) – 125 stations
5. Electrical throughout (so that students can plug in laptops in cubicles)
6. Carpet throughout the library - $250,000
7. Refurbished on reupholstered chairs and new furniture throughout the library
8. New study cubicles in the library that would include outlets for laptops and lighting

3. Comm Video room soundproofed for recording.
4. Comm Video room needs 3 small tables that push together to make a larger conference
table to seat 8.
5. Comm Video room needs a set-up as close to a SMART classroom as possible: projector,
screen, computer, DVD player and document camera.
6. Glass walls between Comm Video room and Student Inquiry, between faculty office and
student inquiry, and between conference room and Student Inquiry (or windows if not
possible for walls) – for more easy supervision of students and light
7. Rotunda lobby – does it have enough wiring for plugging in laptops? Will there be plugins on the counter near the science tutorials?

screen to be on opposite wall (because of the walkways and doors)
13. Small computer lab between 23 and 27 (classroom does not need instructor station next to
ADA station but needs an ELMO toward the front near the monitor (should it be a screen
and smart classroom instead of a monitor?) Then could you add 2 more computers in
there to make it 14 total?
14. In the lobby circle, Sujoy indicated there will already be a digital display (given to us and
being installed now) where the current TV screen is. We would like homework walls (all
