2nd Floor Project Update
Second floor collections have been shifted and managed. The only thing left is removal of the short stack of shelving near the study room.
Fingers crossed that they will be gone by the start of the term.
We will have additional room for working at the cafe tables and using the mobile whiteboards.
WOW! Can't wait for you to see the changes.
