West Corridor

West Corridor, 1st floor

The first floor west corridor area is just outside of the exit gates of Memorial Library. It houses the Memorial Library Computer Lab and two study halls. Both of those areas are quiet or silent study spaces, but the rest of the west corridor is designed for collaboration and conversation. The west corridor also contains a lecture hall, room 126.
