Note: As of Janurary 2015, there are two possible locations for the scholars lab. Location 1 is the suite directly to the right of the Library administration building (suite TBD). Location 2 is the old government documents section of the library, to the left of the entrance (suite TBD).

Floorplan of the Lab Location 2View of new space from library entrance. On the floorplan, this is A0101A. (View is to the right).View of new space from library entrance. Also A0101A, but view is to the left side. Notice the alcove at the back which leads to another exterior door out of the library.View of the alcove mentioned in previous picture. The door leads out to UCR's campus. It is currently a fire door but will hopefully be turned into a card-key to allow lab access outside of library hoursView from the back of the lab towards the library entrance.View of conference room (or what will be the conference room) in the new space. On the floor plan, this is A0101D.This is a view from inside the new lab space, looking at the door that will lead to the library. The two rooms on the side are the two available offices, A0101C and A0101B on the floorplan.The new lab space has a small inner office (A0101E) that has its own door to the library. It could be entered without going through the main lab. Possibly Brain Games will go here.Although this image doesn't really do it justice, there is a small office within the office in the new lab (A101F). There is no external light coming into the office (hence the dark photograph), but the space is much larger than it seems here. This space will be useful for anything lab activities (gaming, viewing, etc) that require light sensitivity.
