Library – Information Technology

Almost done on the 3rd floor

Posted on September 6, 2010 by Rae-Ann Wentworth

Just a super quick update. Sorry it has been a while, but as you can see from the pictures below, we have been real busy. We expect to fully open most of the spaces this Thursday.

Even though it is not officially open, some techs have been doing a little work and setting up the new and improved Diagnostic Center

The entrance to the computer lab. Check out all of that glass!

the new computer workstations. Yes, there going to be computers on them. We just have not gotten around to that part yet.

Imagine a couch in front of this wall. There will be one there someday. It is backordered of course.

Check it out. We have an accent wall! It actually looks real good in person. Everyone that has seen it so far has had positive comments about the color choice.

These are not the chairs that will stay here. The real ones are back ordered. These gorgeous tables were made just for us. They are very beautiful up close.

One of the new IT storage cabinets. These are beautiful and huge!

Well that is all of the pics for today. I am going to try and get a video put together for anyone that can’t see the space in person. It might get you a little better perspective on how things look.

Slow, but steady she goes. We have sheetrock on some of the new wall frames, new wiring for both electrical and networking, and the frames for the lab windows and door are in. Pictures taken today are below.

The 4 openings on the left will be tempered glass windows to let in the light from the hall window. On the right is the 3 openings for a new door and more windows on the side.

The 1/2 wall dividing the tables and chairs work spaces and the computer workstations is framed and some of the wiring is in.

week ending 7/23/10 3rd floor report

Posted on July 25, 2010July 25, 2010 by Rae-Ann Wentworth

It has been a bit louder this week on the 3rd floor. The new spaces are starting to take shape. Old walls are now completely down or altered and new wall / door frames have been constructed. A lot of the old lighting has also been removed. The workers have been nice and considerate. They try to let us know when we are in for a loud afternoon.

In talking to the head construction guy on site, I have learned that the construction part should be completed around August 13th. The lab and training room computer tables and chairs are due in the following week. As of right now, most of it seems to be on schedule and should be ready by the time students arrive!

Captain Info will be back on Monday, so I’m sure we will have a 1st floor update early in the week. Things have really come together down there. There are still a few things being worked on, but it looks like they are in the home stretch.

Below are some new pictures from the 3rd floor from this past week. You can see them full size in a new window by clicking on them individually . Enjoy!

First Mate of the IT Seas

Walls, or lack there of…

We have some walls down, and we were surprised at how quietly they went. We did not really notice.

The sign over the printer has stayed up, even with all of the construction / destruction going on around it.

On Friday, 7/16, the wall between Googie (the film preview room) and the projection booth/hallway/room got taken down

By noon on Monday, all the walls between Rae-Ann’s old office, the projection room and Googie are all down.

no more walls between Googie and Nova
