Renovations in Barker and Dewey Libraries have created great new spaces to study! The MIT Community is invited to Open House events at each library. Please come visit and celebrate with us!
Barker Library Open House
Where: Barker Engineering Library (10-500)
Reading Room (under the Dome)
When: Wednesday, September 16, 4-6pm
Remarks at 4:30pm, Refreshments served
The old “journal racks” in the Barker Reading Room have been removed to open up the space and give way to a more flexible design. New area rugs, fresh paint, refinished furniture and improved lighting make this iconic space more inviting for quiet study.
Dewey Library Open House
Where: Dewey Library (E53-100), First Floor
When: Thursday, September 17, 4-6pm
Remarks at 4:30pm, Refreshments served
The new, improved Dewey Library offers a secure 24-7 study space, an area designated for quiet study, and numerous power-enabled study carrels. There are 12 brand-new group study rooms, each with LCD screen and white board, which can be reserved online. The brighter, more open space also features many ecologically-friendly touches, such as cork floor tiles and energy-efficient lighting.
