Noise alert: New furniture being installed on Cabell's fourth floor

In response to student requests, James Branch Cabell Library will  be adding more electrical outlets and new furniture with plugs for devices to the Fourth Floor quiet study area.

Work has been underway since Oct. 15. New furnishings will be installed the week of Oct. 29. It outlet.jpgwill be loud on the fourth floor during this work. Students needing quiet spaces might consider the whisper-only third floor or reserving study rooms.

Most of the new furniture has plug-ins incorporated into the pieces. Electricians will be working to install additional circuits in the electrical closet and run cabling above the ceiling tiles to the locations where the "wired" furniture will be placed.  

The downside is that the 4th floor won't be so silent.

Funding for this long-needed project is from the Office of the Provost.
