Abstract
Part of the construction project of the Automated Retrieval Center taking place at the north side of the library closest to the Student Union includes some much needed improvements to the existing library building. Stairwells, restrooms, and elevators will be redone and the 5th floor will be re-imagined as a quiet study space. This quiet study space will have wireless access like the rest of the John C. Hitt Library so students can bring their own devices, but there continues to be a need for desktop PCs with wired access and large monitors. The monitors provide a larger workspace than a personal device and some applications require more processing power and a dedicated connection so desktops in the building are always in high demand. This floor currently has 5 PCs which are nearing their end of life and will be replaced. Increasing the number available on the floor will be welcome. This proposal seeks funding to purchase the 44 PCs that will be installed in that new quiet area.
