3rd floor display case. Displayed items must be under 45in high, by 26in wide, by 7in deep and weigh less than 5lbs to fit within case. This case is locked and therefore most secure location option, however the library is not responsible for items left on display.

More Details on Location Areas

Display Areas

The Library currently has four active display locations — two on the 2nd floor, one on the 3rd floor, and one on the 4th floor — with a fifth location pending. Each location supports different types of engagement, timelines, and visibility:

  • Location A (2nd Floor – Near Library Entrance): Ideal for pop-up or short-term displays. High-traffic spot perfect for timely or themed highlights.

  • Location B (2nd Floor – BADIE Collaboration Area): Typically hosts heritage month displays or campus-centered collaborations. These displays usually run for the full month.

  • Location C (3rd Floor – Staff Entrance Cabinets): Used for Library-curated content under the theme “What’s Available in Your Library.” Displays here are designed to last a semester or longer, with two rotations per year.

  • Location D (3rd Floor – Pending): A potential new location near the elevator in a quiet, enclosed nook. Final setup and approval are still in progress.

  • Location E (4th Floor – Large Open Area): A flexible space for interactive, exhibit-style, or passive display experiences. Can accommodate longer durations and more immersive setups.

Display Duration

Display timelines are based on location and purpose:

  • Location A: Up to 1 month

  • Location B: 1 month (heritage month or theme-based)

  • Location C: Semester-long; updated approximately twice per year

  • Location E: Varies — preferred length is 1 month or a full semester, depending on content
