Also me being me I just start opening doors and getting lost; but eventually some kind soul directs me to the correct location, which was a basement-y school hall “Multimedia Center” that was a newer installation carved out in the space between two hallways:<\/p>\n

It was a bunch of breakout classrooms with upgraded features like call-in conference lines and multi-AV projectors, and, notably, glass walls; basically a bunch of spaces that looked like this:<\/p>\n

Nothing super snazzy but about 8 of them concentrated in one location makes for a certain climate.<\/p>\n
The concurrent sessions were all pretty rapid; they only ran for 20-30 minutes and there wasn’t any time between sessions, so if the presenter gave an extended talk then there wasn’t any time for Q&A or even processing what you just heard before having to uproot and move to the next session. So even now as I write this I haven’t really processed everything I heard, because I’m still processing it; but thankfully I took down some notes (I still prefer to take notes by hand). In the spirit of all-things-open I’m transcribing my notes here for posterity:<\/p>\n

I reckon the ground floor was recently flooded, as there was a bunch of carpet torn up and fans running; that kind of thing. Even then the upper floors also have a musty smell to them, likely from the glue and other adhesives used to secure all that carpet down I suspect 30-40 years ago (by the look and feel of it all). There are administrative sections of the Library that are a bit head-scratching to me; they’re sort of plopped in places and largely inaccessible, or it’s not clear why they are where they are. There are some odd decisions at play as well, indicative of something an “administrator” decided 15-20 years ago that are still in effect.
