UW-Madison recently completed its remodels on a space for advising, studying, tutoring and events in lower Steenbock Library, according to a Friday WISCIENCE release.
The space, called BioCommons, is an ongoing collaboration between WISCIENCE, Steenbock Library and the Office of Undergraduate Advising.
The program aims to provide a warm environment and a central location for bioscience students, as well as information on opportunities and services across campus, according to the release.
Several pilot events have already been held in the space over the last year, ranging from pre-health advising to undergraduate peer research mentoring.
The BioCommons features a lounge with booths, semi-private spaces for student services, study rooms and a large multi-purpose room with projection capabilities.
The future of the BioCommons space will be influenced by students and campus organizations that utilize the space and its resources, according to the release.
