Time for an update! Beginning May 9th and scheduled to be completed by January 2017, the Alcuin Library at St. John’s University will be undergoing a renovation and addition.
This article from the St. Cloud Times explains the project will cost $25 million and will add 22,000 square feet.
There are three main goals the renovation and addition of a learning commons hope to fulfill:
- Allow students to study and mingle together
- Help students access emerging technologies while guided by input from professionals
- Accommodate the changing teaching and learning styles that encourage collaboration
The updated library will also feature more opportunities for group and creative work, with a 3-D printer, media studio, and virtual reality devices.
Finally, the writing and data analysis assistance available to students will be located in the library for easier access.
