 Hi, I'm Kristen and I am a social work major and a senior here at K-State and I'm visiting the Sunderland Foundation Innovation Lab on the first floor of Hale Library today. Okay, so do you want to just tell me a little bit about like what you're excited about with Innovation Lab? Since Hale's opened back up the HAL, it's fabulous new technology and especially the virtual reality room. I've never been in one before so I'm really excited to check that out. Plus they have the ability to check out the laptops. I'm always forgetting mine, so it's gonna be really helpful. I highly recommend the Peer Research Consultants. They are so much help and they're such a great group of people to work with. So the Peer Research Consultants here, they are a group of our other students, peers, who are actually trained to help us do our research papers. If you get to a point in your project where you are stuck in need of help or have found that you just need a little extra guidance that you aren't quite ready to ask your instructor for, check them out. Hi, I'm Zoey. I'm a second year junior in the Anthropology Program here at K-State and right now I'm on the fourth floor of Hale Library and one of my favorite city spots. Can you tell me a little bit about like why do you like the fourth floor? Why is this your favorite study nook? I like it a lot because it's usually really quiet over here and also I tend to come over to Hale in the afternoon and I guess it's a really nice place since it's on the west side of the building and it's really nice. I think one of the best resources at Hale is the course reserves option. They have a lot of textbooks for different classes that you can go on the second floor and basically just check them out for free so that you don't have to spend money on textbooks and it saved me a ton on hand. It's a really great resource. Hi, I'm Haley. I am a fifth year studying medical biochemistry pre-med and right now I'm in one of the collaboration rooms on the first floor of Hale. What do you really like about the collaboration rooms? What wire is special? I really like to be able to have kind of a quiet space to study. After the fire I was using the union a lot more to study and it wasn't very quiet because there's people getting food and people doing all sorts of activities and so coming to Hale it's just a lot quieter and more peaceful atmosphere to study in. Hi, I'm Kate. I'm a math and biology student in my sophomore year and right now I'm in the grade room at Hale Wiper. Just the environment of it, the murals obviously, them being able to recover them after the fire it makes it really nice. I know a lot of people compare it to the Harry Potter room so it definitely gives me that nice aesthetic of being like in the Harry Potter world but also just like the great bright windows and everything else. What is your overall favorite thing about Hale Library? I feel like compared to other spots on campus it's definitely like very quiet and a place to like refresh yourself while you're studying. I feel like at the union and other places on campus it's always very busy but coming to Hale I can really focus on what I want to do in the environment. It's just my favorite on campus. Hello everyone. My name is Melina and I am currently a junior studying biological and agricultural engineering at Kansas State University and today we'll be exploring the second floor reading room. Great space guys. You should definitely check it out. Personally I think that the reading room is a really open study room. It just gives you that incentive to want to come in and study with other students or just to be present with everyone else that's doing work. Just gives me that motivation to get things done. It just feels like a safe space for students to be in while we're studying or just like a space where I can be myself honestly or just feel like I don't really necessarily need to fit in this space or feel like I don't belong here. It just feels right. It's like we're really nice.
