Zumberge Library extends hours
August 19th, 2010New options in Café Bibliothèque
August 19th, 2010The Zumberge Library in Allendale has new food service options starting this fall. A C3 convenience station has been installed in Café Bibliothèque where vending machines used to be located.
This expanded offering will give students additional food options in the library. This staffed food service kiosk will offer similar products like the C3 operating in Mackinaw Hall. Hours are currently set as 7:30 am to 8:00 p.m Monday through Thursday. Friday 7:30 am to 2:00 pm. No weekend hours currently scheduled. This schedule will be adjusted as the semester progresses. A dual pop/snack vending machine will be available when the C3 is not open.

Libraries showcase cutting-edge furniture and technology
January 6th, 2010The University Libraries are showcasing brand-new collaborative study spaces, a one-semester trial preparing us for the new Mary Idema Pew Library and Learning Information Commons design conversations. The architect firm SHW Group, Steelcase Corporation, and Custer Office all have contributed to this project.
New group study spaces on the main floor of Zumberge library feature Steelcase’s cutting-edge media:scape space, an interactive, high-technology work environment that allows multiple students to plug into a visual display, to switch control between users, and to collaborate on digital projects. It’s a new way for groups to work, think, and create together using an innovative meld of modern furniture with new technology.
The libraries are also showcasing new furniture at Seidman House, a new study carrel design on the 3rd floor of Zumberge Library (west side of the building), and new group study furniture in the Zumberge cafe.
Please send comments about the new spaces to Lynell De Wind at dewindl@gvsu.edu.
