In January 2022, the Inclusive and Welcoming Library Spaces Task Force was charged with recommending changes, improvements, or other initiatives to enhance inclusiveness and accessibility in library spaces. Over the next 18 months the task force conducted environmental scans, a focus group, and a campuswide survey which received over 900 responses from students. Since that time a number of initiatives to further inclusivity and feelings of belonging in our spaces were identified and are currently underway:
- Refresh of the Langson Library Lobby. Completed Winter 2024.
- Improved wayfinding in our buildings. Coming Fall 2024.
- Sensory maps. Coming Fall 2024.
- Displays of student work in our spaces. Coming Spring 2024.
