Maps, Wormhole/Mole Hole 2024

Team:
Rachel Burgess, Brad Engelbert, Diana Park, Laura Ramos
Fred DeAngelis (physics), Margie Haak (chem)

Objectives:
1. Create some space to absorb the Wormhole (capacity of 30) and relieve crowding in the Mole Hole.
2. Shared understanding between the units involved on the services in the space, create preliminary agreement between the units in the college of science and the library.
3. Pilot overlapping tutoring space.
4. After completion of this project, assess use of the space and use in consideration for future planning.
5. Pull together a committee in late 2024 for larger scale project of rethinking maps/tutoring spaces on the 3rd floor.
