Placed across the room from any windows, these moveable shelves can be shuttled back and forth. This creates one aisle between the stacks at any given time. Near the ceiling to floor windows are study tables with computer plugs at each. At the entrance is a lounge where periodicals are stored. A more secure check out system means fewer books walking away.
Bright lights improve the ambience.
Math faculty members are elated about the renovation. More books are on the shelves and students have a place to study. When solving a math problem you want to know what has been done in that field. The College of Science is deeply grateful to George Richard Riser of Huntingdon Valley, Penn., who made a very generous gift to endow a scholarship in the University of Utah's Department of Biology. Mr. Riser received his undergraduate degree from the University of Utah's Department of Biology.
