The GSU Library
As you present and swipe your GSU ID, you are allowed entrance in the exclusive GSU Library. While spacious it is also compact, holding many amenities for the student’s needs. When shortly scanning the sleek feel of the library you can easily notice the amount computers it holds on it’s floors. In addition to this, it includes private study rooms made in replica of a classroom equipped with whiteboards and charging outlets. The library staff is always prepared for the occupants of the library as they are specialized. This space is tailored to the assistance of its occupants in full.
Almost everything in this library serves the purpose of information gathering. Whether it be electronically by way of the internet or tangibly by way of a book or academic research guide, once you enter its as if information is at your fingertips. This creates a sense of pursuit and desire in this space. When the library enters a person’s mind, its because they desire something and they come to the library to pursue it using all the mediums of information. Having open access to tools for information gathering instills a feeling of opportunity.
Immediately upon observation, you can quickly notice the amount of population at the library. Even when it’s not at the peak hour, the GSU library is flooded with students, staff, and visitors alike. Results after minimally tailing a GSU student present that students usually arrive at the library with a sole purpose in mind. Once they reach their specific location, they execute whatever action necessary whether that be homework, essays, research, or even analytical observation. Shortly after, they exit and continue on with their daily activities.
The people in this space highly value that privacy and silence that they can’t get anywhere else. With GSU being such a populous and loud campus, the library is almost like an escape for them. They have assignments that need to be done and this is a self-designated place by them to do it. They also value how comfortable the space as a whole feels in the library. A student is able to walk in, head to a specific location, then plug in some headphones and begin working. Most, if not all students, will greatly value the alone time they can receive here.
