The Learning Laboratory in the UCL Science Library Building to facilitate learning: Group Study and e-learning

The focus was on the provision of improved readers services including:

• Provision of 3 new turnstiles at the entrance. After the project was completed, there were 4 entry gates and 2 exit gates.
• Provision of 4 new group study areas to the south of the ground floor area, with whiteboards and 32 inch LCD screens to allow flexibility of use and presentations.
• Removal of the existing IS Helpdesk and provision of a new IS Helpdesk and a new Library enquiry desk.
• Reconfiguration of the photocopier area with integration of 2 new seated E-Journals terminals and 5 new seated library catalogues adjacent to the enquiry desk.
