The Langson Library Honors Study Room has New Furniture!

January 24, 2008 at 3:41 pm by Ryan Lombardini

The Nordstrom Honors Room (Langson Library 457) has a new look!  Based on feedback from Honors students last year, we have installed new carpeting and furniture along with new paint and a “quiet zone” sign.  We are still waiting for new study chairs for the tables, but hope you will enjoy the small sofas and other soft seating chairs.  There are also plenty of outlets to plug in laptops.  

A big “thank you” to the Honors students who gave us valuable advice about how to improve this space.
