Demolition is well underway on HSLIC’s entry-level (2nd floor). So far, the construction crew has:
- Demolished the main study area on the 2nd floor, including the New Mexico Health Historical Room and computer classroom
- Demolished Biomedical Informatics Suite
- Demolished old library front desk and oak panel façade on either side of the lobby, including removing the lighting soffits.
- Removed ceiling in hallway and disassembled old anatomical model cases
They’ve also begun to frame out the new technology room and kitchenette! Currently, this renovation project is on track to finish up just before Thanksgiving, and we’re hoping to have it wrapped up in time for the intense study week before finals.
The goal of the 2nd floor remodel project is to provide a more useable space for student study and technology use. Some of the amenities to look forward to include:
- A kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, and sink for student use
- Updated study spaces and student computer lab
- New library service desk with additional storage for large items students like to check out, such as sporting goods
- Additional technology space for virtual reality, 3D printing, virtual anatomy table, and more
- Flexible space for easy reconfiguration
