Queensborough Community College of the City University of New York serves a population of over 12,000 students. When we began to see that our two floor library was not adequately meeting student needs wedecided to create an environment conducive to both collaborative learning and individualstudy. With one floor a quiet/Reference floor and, after a drastic weeding project, the relocation of the circulating collection, the second floor was redesigned to encourage group study. New furniture, carpeting andfloor tiles as well as computers and electrical upgrades create a vibrant student centered atmosphere.
