| Initiative Title | Computer seating for Middletown library |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Seats in the library's information commons areas are original to the 2007 installation. Many of the seats are worn out beyond repair. Most notably many of the seats are stuck in the lowered position. They often lose the tightening knobs that keep the backs in the correct position. As a result students frequently look for functioning chairs and wheel them to the pod that student is working on. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | The chairs will continue to degrade to a point where they are falling apart. |
|---|
| Department Goals | Goal 4 Create a friendly, safe and supportive virtual and physical environment with trained staff and state-of-the-art equipment and facilities to support the research process. |
