Did you know that you can view The Chronicle' of Higher Education database of new campus architecture or submit information on our institution? The picture here is the 7000 square foot interior of the recently finished information commons at the University of Pennsylvania. A Modernist brick-and-concrete structure, the new Information Commons offers seating for close to 200 students. Group-study settings include private study rooms, cafe-like booths, and flexible open spaces. A digital-media lab and a 25-seat seminar room were part of the project, as are spaces for a writing center, oral-presentation coaching, and other kinds of academic assistance. (This is only one floor of the library. Yes they do have books.)
