Academic & Research Life FAVORITE & LEAST FAVORITE CLASSROOMS • Takeaways here … Academic & Research Life RESEARCH • Only a handful of faculty took survey, so responses reflect primarily student research impressions • Cooper Library, Rhode, Fluor Daniel, Life Sciences, and Biosystems Research Complex all were noted as high quality spaces for research • Few spaces marked as low quality • Many references to online research Not crowded and perfect location for students on all parts of campus/need to park to get here. favorite spot to meeting inside for groups. [Union] Not enough areas for quiet discussion [library] Academic & Honors Center at Now prefer this atrium.. a much more relaxed Research Life Core has some good COLLABORATION study rooms for atmosphere than the library [Fluor] SPACES groups • Primarily concentrated in Library is over crowded, there typically aren't Cooper, Watt, and Now prefer this atrium.. open tables for group work Academic Success Center a much more relaxed • Significantly less atmosphere than the collaboration indicated in library. Easy location to meet with lab groups. [Cooper] other academic buildings Not enough areas by students for quiet discussion • Sense that it can be hard to find space for groups to collaborate – Library can Lots of rentable spaces be crowded Great for groups if with nice technology you can get a room which can be hard. The library is always jam packed, I wish we could build another floor or something Honors center at Core has some good study rooms for groups New and airy - like the sunny and open feel. Way too crowded now. better than the library Architecture library. Not many quiet and comfy Very nice lounges with places to study on campus. Academic & plenty of room to study. Needs more outlets Fantastic coffee shop around the room. Research Life environment at All In the watts center is very nice i like the new STUDY SPACES Study in Starbucks - the technology we can use, i just don't like all the newer one isn't as nice as glass so everyone can watch you from the old one. • Students say it can be hard everywhere to find a quiet, available space to study The student lounge Often time very difficult to find • Significant studying in in Sirrine is not a bad Library, Watts, and place to study if you a table Academic Success Center can find a table. • Core Campus emerging as a key study space in the northwestLee part library of central offers a nice, Should be open later There's too many students usually to find a quiet campus quiet, and lesser known & rooms should be place to study without going into the basement • Desires fornook more on outlets campus – (with lots I like studying in the available to use for inside andof outsidenatural light) to study. library when I can find a studying purposes levels which look out of the 60's.
