The refurbishment of the southwest quadrant of the Second Level of Duane G. Meyer Library on the Springfield campus of Missouri State University was well-nigh completed over the winter holiday break now ending. We’re just waiting for a few missing parts and pieces, but the area is ready to use now. The new space, known affectionately by some as “The Wedge,” sports new carpeting, more electrical outlets, great views of campus, and completely new furniture. More popular little study pods known as Brodies have been added, as well as many other different types of seating. The Wedge also contains some Fit Desks (exercycles) as well as several treadmills with large work surfaces. As the Romans used to say, Mens Sana in Corpore Sano (A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body)! The multi-year initiative to refurbish and revitalize the Duane G. Meyer Library will continue. Before the Spring Semester begins on January 16th, the main lobby on the First Level will be completely refurbished, too.
