Melick Student Success Center and Library

The 3-story Melick Library is underutilized and in need of updates and repairs. By reducing its collection and consolidating some of its volumes in high-density shelving on the lower level, the college will be able to bring life back into the library by moving some other departments into the building. The schematic design allows the college to centralize many of their common student services. The new layout will allow for access to the Library, Student Life, Financial Aid, Career Services, Learning Center, & Academic Counseling all in one building. It will also provide a dedicated space for their many commuters to use as their home base.

NEEDS:

  • Access to the Library, Student Life, Financial Aid, Career Services, Learning Center, & Academic Counseling

  • Dedicated space for commuters

  • Updates and Repairs

SOLUTIONS: 

  • Condensed the student services to be in one centralized location

  • Lockers, kitchenette, showers and lounge area for Eureka’s commuting students

  • Window replacement, asbestos removable, and a new sprinkler system
