Classrooms & Learning Spaces
The library hosts three learning spaces. Our classrooms, Coe 216/218, have a primary purpose of library-hosted instruction. The Libraries do not provide space for recurring, non-library instruction. The Coe 123 Media Screening Room is for the viewing of film, television, games, and other multimedia content. Students, faculty, and staff can utilize the space to view films or television for class or personal use, our system is compatible with multiple gaming consoles, and other multimedia content.
