Study carrels and lounge seating areas throughout the branch. The library has individual study carrels and group study rooms for students and faculty. The library provides Independent Study carrels for math and science seniors. Carrels usually contain a desk (not necessarily one described as above), shelving and a lamp. Electrical outlets are located at most study carrels. The fourth floor contains study carrels for users with disabilities. Carrels are generally quite popular at universities and are therefore usually quickly occupied. The fifth floor contains study carrels and contains collections related to language and literature. The second floor west area is mostly dedicated to study carrels. Carrels for study were often set around the perimeter to utilize available light. An expansion in 2008 added study carrels and a computer cluster. The number of private study carrels and other private work stations was increased to 200. The Carrels also had screens that could be used to divide the students into groups. The outer area, which houses the reading carrels, is made of brick.
