New 4th floor lounge has:

  • Computers along the walls that allow for the addition of soft seating, ottomans, and small tables
  • New chairs that are on wheels to make it easy for students to move them when they want to work alone or in groups
  • New carpet in Duquesne red and blue
  • Windows covered in solar film to reduce glare and heat loss
  • New wraparound counter designed to hold four new “xpress” computers designated for quick lookups and quick printing
