New Fifth Floor Stack Configuration Almost Complete
Bester Bros was able to move all the shelving on the fifth floor into its final configuration today (though we still have to fill in a few gaps). There is also single sided shelving to be installed on the east side next to the existing graduate study. Dell Construction will be building that.
I encourage you to go up and take a look. Even though the lighting is not in place and even though it's clear we are going to have to find some money for additional carpet in some areas, I think you will be pleased with how much this opens up the stacks. There is much more room as you come off the main and southern stairways and it should be much easier for users to orient themselves to where they are on the floor when they exit the stairs. And take a look at what a difference made by having wider aisles.
