Grainger Engineering Library - Overview

Overview

The Grainger Library contains a two-story Main Reading Gallery, which can seat 1,254 people, and two smaller, two-story pavilion reading galleries, which can each accommodate approximately 60 people. The galleries are also used for special events and dinners. In addition, the facility contains three large seminar rooms (seating 30 to 50 people) and four smaller conference rooms. The building has 60 networked computers, 100 terminals, 7 information kiosks, and 6 servers. The building offers group study rooms, individual study carrels, faculty and scholar studies and conference rooms. In fact, it was so technically advanced that the furniture had to be custom designed because no one had ever had data and power connected to every seat on this scale before.
