| Transcript | OB renovation Productivity increases The Quadrangle's Oberholtzer Hall, the center for Quad activity, underwent renovations that were completed in the fall semester. Two private study rooms separated with walls and glass doors were created in the place of an area where study booths had been previously. A large glassed-in study room with several tables and couches was also created. "The study area is ten times better than what it was last year. The paint and carpet are softer tones and much more relaxing to the eyes and so it's easier to study," sophomore Taub Hall resident Arun Khazanchi said. Many students seem to agree that the study environment is much improved for all study areas are always crowded. "There are much more people studying in OB compared to last year. It's always full," sophomore Taub resident Maitry Shah said. Also added to Oberholtzer were a vending area and offices for senior staff members as well as offices for the housing department. Housing offices were moved from the basement of the Moody Towers to Oberholtzer Hall during the first week of September. Housing office employees were well pleased with the new location. "I love it, I really do. It's a much more productive atmosphere," Assistant Director of Housing Services Jackie Mitchell said. The new location centralizes most housing offices since the director's offices are located on the second floor of Oberholtzer Hall. Board cards are now taken care of in the new location also. "The new location is also more convenient with the students in case we need to send them to the second floor of OB. It's much more efficient, administrative wise," Mitchell said. ► Beth A.
