Improved traffic flow for students using the library building was achieved by the integration of an open, communicating stair that connects the first three levels of the facility together. The first level is home to staff offices and a casual student engagement space with coffee area, small group performance stage and computer lab. The goal of the Commons Union project was to better serve learners by creating easy access to resources and support services, while fostering socialization and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GMB partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/centerbrook.com\/\">Centerbrook Architects and Planners<\/a> as the design architect for this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
