Located in the UC, by the bus loop
The University of Guelph has created a new reading space for students in the University Centre building.
The Ontarion was able to speak with some students who showed their love and approval for the new reading space.
Garang Maker, a fourth year double-major student in math and engineering, was happy with the new developments; he further said that it serves undergraduate students who do not want to go to the library to read.
Maker told The Ontarion, “I think the development is a great step towards making U of G a better place, considering the fact that most students, not in BSc and BEng, do not have enough space in their department and faculty buildings for individual and group studying.” He continued, “It is also an excellent place to have a quick look at school work while you wait for the bus. ”
Another student, Veronica Mitchell, whose major is English, said that she believes the study place will give more room for students to read. Mitchell stated, “I haven’t been in the new place, but I think it’s a great idea to provide more space for students, because the library can be very crowded.”
Those who have not yet visited the new space can check it out on the first floor of the UC, across from the info desk.
