I’ve noticed that a lot of people who study in the the main atrium (3 story room w/ tables) use computers. The inconvenient floor plugs are few in number (requiring power cord rental) and awkward to access. I recommend installing power strips on each table (leg, edge, underneath, etc) that could then be plugged into the floor. And if the room needed to be cleared, the tables could simply be unplugged and moved.

Thank you for your suggestion. We understand that electrical power is not adequate in the atrium or most other places in the library. We are collecting data from students and hope to have a renovation project in the atrium as soon as next summer. I will pass along your suggestion to our building managers to see if it could work.
