Falk Library Renovations are in Progress

By now, most Falk Library users will have seen the construction signs warning that the library's upper floor may not be the best place for quiet study. In January 2005, the library began a renovations project to introduce new study space, and make the collections easier to use.

The most notable change will be a new, comfortable, laptop-friendly study space in the back of the upper floor, where the oversize books were previously located. The books were removed from this area following recent water damage (see "It's Raining Upstairs," HSLS Update, October 2004, www.hsls.pitt.edu/about/news/hslsupdate/2004/october/falk_q_flood). A new floor and furniture will replace the metal shelving and worn-out carpet. Wireless networking, new lighting and convenient electrical outlets will make this space especially attractive for personal computer use.

Watch for the opening of this renovated space, and additional physical improvements at Falk Library in the coming months.
