Project involves renovating and updating the library on the 2nd floor A-wing in addition to renovating the computer training rooms immediately outside the library. The library has become much more digital over the years so the large bookshelves with a lot of books are long gone. The library has become much more of a training area. In order for the VA simulation lab to be accredited, we need to add an additional SIM lab. The Sim labs will have more lifelike headwall units so they can train their staff. The computers in the training room are old and outdated. The electrical and data sometimes does not work. We will install a lower raised computer floor and a new acoustical divider between the two training rooms. Since they took away the training room on the 8th floor for Hem Onc, they need to add additional training inside the library, so we are adding a classroom just outside the simulation labs. In addition, they are going away from projectors and screen and going to large monitors. The circulation desk will be relocated to the side and there will be offices allotted for the Librarian and other staff. In addition, they will relocate the BLCS training room to the side in order to open up the middle. The individual employee/veteran computer work carrels will be pushed to the side also. There will be storage rooms allotted for training materials and equipment. They will also add a VAM (voice activated module) training room. There will be a new ceiling installed as the one there currently is all piecemeal. They will also get new carpet and finishes.
