FYID 102A Design Challenge: WUtopia

Ablah Library has spaces and technology to facilitate working in groups, creating and practicing presentations, and crafting multimedia projects. Here are a few resources to facilitate group work. Be sure to ask a librarian or stop by the Circulation Desk if you have questions or want more information. 

Tables With Tech

Four large group study tables are next to the Research Services Department and the Government Documents stacks. Students may share a screen on the large TV monitor, and with the Clickshare connectors, may see up to 4 laptops either tiled or by scrolling. 

Large Tables for Collaboration

Other spaces on the second floor, main floor, and lower level provide additional space for groups to collaborate. (The third floor is a quiet floor.)
