dots indicate student's favorite seating options

Thank you for all of the great feedback!  All those dots give us very clear message.  You may see us walking around with a clipboard and noting where people sit.  This is to make sure the library seating is configured to work for you. We want to add more of what you like best when we expand our renovation to the 2nd floor.
