Noise Level: Group Study/Encouraged
Food Policy: Permitted in the cafe area beside the Espresso Royale
The first floor of Grainger Engineering Library is a mix of information resources, technology, and group study space – noise is encouraged. The first floor is the location of the main circulation and reference desk. Standard checkout services, course reserves, and loanable technology (chargers, IO labs, colored pencils) are all available here.
Grainger Engineering Library’s first floor is also home to three popular culture collections: the popular fiction collection, located on the shelves in the cafe area next to Espresso Royale; the tabletop games collection, located next to the course reserves behind the reference desk; and the video games collection, located along the back wall behind the circulation desk.
The computer bank and scanners on the first floor of Grainger Engineering Library are available and accessible to all patrons regardless of UIUC affiliation; however, the only printer available for public cash printing is the one located at the circulation desk. The rest of the printers require cloud print submission using PaperCut.
