Walls of the Archives

The walls of the Archives within the existing study area on the 4th floor will be covered in an acoustic brick panel that softens sound between the spaces. Wall shelves will highlight objects and information from the Collection. 

 

The Research Room 

The Research Room offers students and researchers an individualized or collaborative space to investigate the Collection and conduct research. Behind the room, you can see The Vault, the high-density storage system.
