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. 

MCR floor plan.png

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 21st century chic. 

With the exception of workstations and cafĂ© 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.

  • Taking deep breaths
  • Enjoying a stroll
  • Practicing mindful eating
  • Finding mindfulness resources in your local community

At the Tompkins-McCaw Library, one of the things you'll notice on the main floor is our new gallery area.  This open exhibit gives you an opportunity to focus on something wonderful and intriguing while you're here.  For the rest of January, you can enjoy the Watercolors exhibit created by Victor Yanchick, Dean of the School of Pharmacy.  Upcoming exhibits will be posted on the the Tompkins-McCaw Library homepage at http://www.library.vcu.edu/tml.

So as you get back into the routine of busy student, busy faculty/staff, or some interesting combination of the two, give yourself a mindful break regularly.  You'll be glad you did.
