You might know this one as the Applied Life Sciences library, but it’s changed its name recently.

It looks like a junior-high or high school library, with pastel 70s colored walls and furniture, low level bookshelves. It’s a nice space; a nicer open feel than some of the other libraries I’ve been in, but ick to the color scheme. There were a few power outlets nearby.

No wireless? WTF? The website said I should have wireless, but I could barely pick up a signal, and when I did I couldn’t actually talk to the QC server. That’s lame. That’s the first library on campus I’ve had connectivity problems in.

It was warm in that library (warm out today in general,) and there were at least 3 people sleeping. One snoozer was wearing a shirt and tie.

I was there to look up a racist, xenophobic-written article on bullfighting.
