Hodges Library will soon undergo a major renovation. The Commons, which encompasses the second floor of the library, features the latest technology, group study areas, an inviting setting, and round-the-clock hours that make it one of the most intensely used study spaces on campus.<\/p>\n<p>Renovations will begin immediately following final exams for Spring Semester 2012 and continue for several months.<\/p>\n<p>This major construction project on the busiest floor of the campus&#8217;s main library will inevitably entail some noise, dust, and temporary relocation of services. However, renovations will be done in stages for the least disruption.<\/p>\n<p>The pay-off for some temporary inconvenience will be an updated facility that integrates the Studio and provides more group study spaces, more natural light, and new mediascape furniture (technology-enabled collaborative workspaces). Services will be better organized, grouping academic consulting in one area and all equipment checkout at a single service point. The Libraries&#8217; Research Assistance desk will relocate to a highly visible spot just inside the main entrance to the library.<\/p>\n<p>Watch for updates on the Commons construction project at <a href=\"http:\/\/conezone.utk.edu\">conezone.utk.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The popular Commons at the John C.
