[Tang-Residents] New 24th fl Graduate Lounge - 24B

[Dawn Anderson]

Greetings Tang Hall Residents:

We are excited to share that the new Graduate Student Lounge on the 24th floor (24B) is officially open for resident use.  It is primarily a space for individual/small group work or gathering when more privacy is needed, especially when the other lounges are in use.  The usage policy is outlined below and will be on the Tang website.

In the next couple of weeks, whiteboards and flat screens will be installed, so the lounge will be taken off-line for a couple of days. Keep in mind ID cards are needed for access and the same basic rules apply to this space as any other common space inside of Tang Hall, especially noise level since the space will be shared.

This space that exists as a result of years of Tang Hall leadership and residents advocating for it.

Enjoy,
HOH & THRA
