After months of construction, HSLIC’s entry level (2nd floor) is back—and better than ever! Our refreshed main floor is designed with students, faculty, and visitors in mind, offering an inviting, modern space to study, collaborate, and recharge. We’ve been working hard at transforming the space, and we’re excited to finally unveil the updates.
Here’s a look at what’s new:
Modernized Lobby & Service Desk
We’ve reimagined the lobby with noise-dampening tiles and flooring to create a calmer, more welcoming entrance. The updated service desk offers accessible support stations and increased storage for checkout items, helping us serve you better.
Vibrant New Carpet
Out with the old, in with the bold! The floor now features colorful carpet in an HSC-themed modern pattern that complements the third floor’s design.
A Fresh, Flexible Seating Area
The updated entry level boasts a bright, open layout filled with natural light and cozy lounge seating. Whether you're here to study solo or work with classmates, the new configuration offers plenty of options.
Upgraded Student Computing
Computers are now conveniently located near the entrance. The new motorized computer tables are arranged in a sleek “molecular” layout for both functionality and style. Look out for an additional scanning station and fresh library displays nearby.
Kitchenette with a Microwave (Finally!)
Yes, it’s true—the long-awaited microwave has arrived! The entry level now features a kitchenette complete with a fridge, vending options, and seating. It’s the perfect spot to relax between classes, warm up your lunch, or catch up with friends.
Technology Room Featuring a Data Visualization Wall
Explore data like never before with our new, cutting-edge Data Visualization Wall. This interactive display transforms complex information into engaging visuals that support collaborative learning and data-driven storytelling. Dive into curated datasets, uncover insights, and experience a whole new way to engage with research and information.
Nook Seating Pods (By Popular Vote!)
You asked, we delivered! The beloved Nook seating pods are now a permanent part of the floor. Equipped with charging outlets, adjustable lighting, whiteboard walls, and acoustic panels, these pods are great for focused study, collaboration, or even a quiet lunch. One pod is dedicated for relaxation, featuring a cozy beanbag perfect for unwinding.
