Early in February 2012, the Tompkins-McCaw Library (TML) is kicking off the renovation of the basement Multimedia Collaboration Room, B-037.    The renovation will take the existing room to bare bones and then add layers to create an exciting, contemporary space focused on collaborative learning. 

Existing furniture and equipment will be removed or relocated February 2-3; demolition begins Monday, February 6.  The five week process will transform the room from dated 1970s shabby to 21^st century chic. 

With the exception of workstations and café booths, furniture in the room is designed to be moveable and configurable by users.  There will be mobile soft seating and white boards too.  Walls at the end of the room will be finished with whiteboard material.  The color scheme of the room is shades of charcoal with pops of fuchsia, green and gold.  The design board showing all the exciting changes for B-037 is on display at the TML Service Desk. 

Enjoy the pictures of the planned renovation.  We'll be posting photos as the project progresses.
