Academic Support Center Transforms Classroom into Public Study Lounge
The Eastern Illinois University Academic Support Center has transformed room 1611 in McAfee Gym into a public study lounge.
Renovated over the summer, the lounge is open from 8 a.m. Monday through Thursday. The goal for the space is to create a comfortable environment for students, said Certified Peer Educator Allison Nichols.
“The main goal right now is to get the word out that a new study lounge is on campus,”
Nichols said. Previously, students would have their meetings with peer educators in the Gregg Technology Center. Now, the new space in McAfee is considered a mixture of both a peer educator meeting place and the technology center, according to Nichols.
New furniture, free supplies and snacks have been added to make the new lounge more acceptable and comfortable for everyone. The new study lounge is also close to a number of resources, said Nichols.
