Columbia Libraries Partners with Design for America to Address Stress Culture in Butler Library

The Design for America project with Columbia Libraries is a student-led effort working alongside administrators and staff in Butler Library with a mission to improve the student experience at Butler. Based on the results of a survey of more than 200 current students, DFA x CU Libs has prioritized promoting healthy study habits, comfort, and wellness in Butler, with current emphasis on room 202. In the space, you’ll find newly-added footrests and seat cushions for a more comfortable study session as well as posters and stickers that encourage self-care and wellness during even the most hectic weeks of the semester.

Butler 202 is a resource for you as finals approach and the semester ramps up. Please visit Butler 202 to experience some of these ideas in effect, give us your feedback, and tell us what you would like to see in the future!
