School of Dentistry graduate student tests the new fountains.
The Library Genie Strikes Again!
One consistent request the Genie received was for updated water fountains in the HS/HSL. Six new water bottle filling stations have been added, one on each floor, to replace the outdated models. The new water bottle filling fountains are fast and curtail waste by reducing the number of plastic water bottles we use. There is even a nifty counter on each fountain to calculate how many plastic bottles we’ve saved so far.
We hope you enjoy these new fountains as much as we enjoyed acquiring them for you and in making the HS/HSL a more pleasant and convenient place for everyone.
