No more SHHHHH: Collaboratory to celebrate grand opening

The campus community is invited to the 10:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 20, grand opening of the new Student Research Collaboratory in the Leddy Library.

The Collaboratory — funded by a donation from University of Windsor friend and supporter Mary Hatch — is intended to change the traditional use of library space into an interactive area for idea sharing and innovation. The space features a comfortable gathering area and software upgrades that have turned a digital wall into a user-friendly presentation area.

University librarian Pascal Calarco says the Collaboratory is an important step in transforming Leddy Library into a vibrant collaborative space for students, teachers, and researchers.
