New Study Space Coming to the Third Floor of HSHSL
Exciting news on the upgrade to the third-floor space! Beginning in April, the journal collection on the fourth floor will be condensed, allowing journals from the third floor to be moved up one floor. This will create a smaller collection footprint and open up new space on the third floor.
Once the journals are shifted to their new location, the empty shelves will be removed, and space will be reconfigured as a quiet study area. The new study space will extend from the area in front of the elevators to the windows overlooking Greene St. and into the large rectangular area across from study rooms 312 to 317.
The collection shift will begin in early April. Expect some noise as books are shifted and shelves are dusted and vacuumed. Removal of the shelving units and new carpet installation will take place over the summer.
In late summer, new furniture will arrive, including individual study pods, diner-style banquettes, and computer tables with second monitors. Also as part of the third-floor renovation, new tables will be added to the study rooms. The new study tables will be identical to those on the second and fifth floors.
If you have any questions or suggestions for the third-floor space, send us an email.

The World Of Color: An Exploration in Color Theory
A delightful new exhibit brings joy and bursts of color to the Weise Gallery March 10 – April 10. Mother Mary Lange Catholic School, a pre-K through eighth-grade school in West Baltimore, has covered the Gallery in their student’s captivating artwork, including: pastels & paints, paper crafts, pen & ink, ceramics, and more.
Art teacher, Joanne Terrell, explained the lesson behind the show. “Color theory is a guide to mixing colors. Using the color wheel, designers can create color schemes that produce emotions and behaviors in audiences. Sir Isaac Newton created the color wheel theory to explain the nature of primary colors. The objective of this unit was for students to reinforce prior knowledge of color theory and apply that knowledge while creating and responding to artwork. I wanted the students to enhance their knowledge of color theory and master the skill of using it to intentionally express ideas.”

Book It Forward: HSHSL Children’s Book Drive Begins April 3
Book It Forward is happening again this year! From April 3 through May 31, 2023, we will be collecting new and gently used children’s books, age levels birth through high school, for donation to local schools and daycare centers. Book donation bins will be distributed across campus — look for them at the HSHSL, the SMC Campus Center, BioPark, School of Nursing, and the Saratoga Building.
This year our donation recipients will include four individual daycares, a central daycare network serving 35 care centers, and a middle/high school. One school requested a visit to HSHSL, and a story time featuring health-related children’s books.
The sponsors for Book It Forward are the HSHSL Community Service Committee, the HSHSL Diversity and Inclusion Committee, and the Office of Community Engagement.
