Read more on page 4. From the Executive Vice President s we enter the holiday season, we end the calendar year on an eventful note, highlighted by the opening of the new, skillfully Adesigned and constructed Northwest Corner Building. It was three years in the making and now the perimeter of our core Morningside campus is complete, consistent with the original McKim, Mead, and White master plan. As you read this issue, our science faculty members are moving into their new spaces, a hub of interdisciplinary study (read more on page 4). This is a historic moment for the University as a whole, as well as for our team. The Northwest Corner Building is exemplary of all that we do—creating spaces where students and faculty want to live and work. Among these spaces are our residential buildings, whose elegance is maintained thanks to the hard work by our Residential Operations team, which is now implementing new green initiatives. From classroom training to energy saving technologies, we continue to reduce the University’s carbon footprint (details on page 6). Our campus grounds remain outstanding and have recently received yet another award for exceptional grounds maintenance by the Professional Grounds Management Society (PGMS) (read more on page 8). In addition to our work, many of you have gone above and beyond the call of duty in your personal lives. One such example is Public Safety Officer Anthony Tavarez, who generously donated his bone marrow to help save a child’s life (more on page 11). Officer Tavarez’s heroic action is truly in keeping with Facilities spirit of helping others. These are just a few of the many ways in which you have demonstrated excellence this year, and I invite you to read more about them in this issue of Off the CUF. Thank you for all you do and happy holidays to you and your family! Joe Ienuso Video still courtesy of Columbia University Office of Communications and Public Affairs.

In order to meet growing cooling demands, we have committed to undertake a modernization of the University’s central refrigeration plant, located in the original powerhouse. The powerhouse, which measures approximately 12,000 square feet, will be renovated to receive two new, ultra efficient chillers. Together these new refrigeration machines will provide an additional 5,600 tons of cooling to the Morningside campus. In addition, older chillers, previously scattered across the Morningside campus, will be centralized within the University’s powerhouse. This project is being led by our Campus Operations team, under the leadership of Vice President Frank Martino. Completion is anticipated for spring 2011. Photo courtesy of David Sunberg | Esto After much planning, design, and construction, the Northwest Corner Building welcomed the University’s science faculty members on November 29. The 188,000 square foot building provides much needed academic research space for the Arts and Sciences department as well as the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science and fosters interdisciplinary research, study, and interaction among the sciences. Nestled in the Morningside campus’ northwest corner at 120th Street and Broadway, the 14-story science building Steam fitters install two 30 inch diameter condenser water pipes along the side of the Fairchild building. The pipes will carry water to the roof of Fairchild and into new provides seven research lab floors, 21 new labs, an integrated cooling towers, facilitating the campus air conditioning system. At full capacity, science library, a café, and direct connections between Pupin these pipes will carry 26,000 gallons of water per minute, greatly enhancing our and Chandler Halls, among its many features. campus cooling. The Northwest Corner was a collaborative effort among all Facilities departments, with construction managed by Capital Project Management.

  • Welcome to the SUNY College at Plattsburgh
    Welcome to the SUNY College at Plattsburgh President’s Welcome Angela Weiler Welcome to the SUNYLA Conference! Each year we gather together, as colleagues, professionals, and friends, to share what we've been working on during the past year and to learn from each other. Of equal importance, though, are the bonds we form and strengthen, bonds that are forged through personal, human contact. Regular face-to-face communication within a large university system is always difficult to arrange (particularly in the winter!), but on occasions such as this conference, when we can actually get together, eat together, learn together, and play together, we find once again that no e-mail list, blog, or telephone can quite match the "being there" experience. May you have a wonderful time here, and leave the SUNYLA Conference inspired, refreshed, and rejuvenated! Welcome from the Conference Chair Shannon Pritting Welcome to the 43 rd SUNY Librarians Association Conference. Our theme for this year, “Shared Borders: Collaborating for Success,” embodies what libraries have always been good at: sharing and collaborating. These two core principles of librarianship have kept libraries relevant, and will continue to keep us as important voices in diverse conversations. The program planning committee, especially Kim Davies Hoffman, has put together an agenda that could sustain a conference of several days. And, most importantly, Debra Kimok and the local arrangements committee at Plattsburgh have designed a conference experience that promises to entertain, stimulate conversations, and hopefully further collaborations across SUNY. I have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with many SUNY Librarians who have helped with planning this conference, especially Logan Rath, who makes the complications of registration seem easy, and Pat Maxwell for her diligence, diplomacy, and creativity in working with our generous sponsors and exhibitors.

  • Our Year of Assessment at Columbia University's Business And
    Ticker: The Academic Business Librarianship Review, 1:1 (2015) © 2015 Kathleen Dreyer and Nisa Bakkalbasi RESEARCH Our Year of Assessment at Columbia University’s Business and Economics Library KATHLEEN DREYER and NISA BAKKALBASI Columbia University, New York, New York, United States Abstract In order to establish a baseline understanding of the needs and the perceptions of service quality among graduate business and economics students and faculty, we employed a multi-method assessment approach combining quantitative and qualitative statistics through a survey, exit polls, and direct observations to inform improvement planning of library services and spaces. While a substantial number of faculty and students were completely satisfied with the services and staff of the Thomas J. Watson Library of Business and Economics, there were some differences among student groups in terms of their satisfaction and interest in new services, technology, furniture, amount of space in the library, and service hours. The Watson Library is both a social and academic space, and students want to complete their academic work efficiently, without wasting time by switching locations, rooms, and/or devices. Our observation revealed that students rarely seem to engage in just one activity and are often studying, texting and talking with friends simultaneously. Introduction In the past decade, the interest in library assessment has expanded greatly — Libraries have changed rapidly in the last particularly as a method to gather evidence decade as librarians attempt to keep up with and context for strategic planning and the ever-changing needs and demands of decision making. As has been the case with users. The diverse service needs of students our counterparts across the nation, and faculty in various disciplines makes this assessment of the quality and effectiveness of challenge even more daunting.
