New Dataspace coming to the Hunt Library in August

Exciting changes are coming to the third floor of the Hunt Library.

In August 2018, the Hunt Library’s third floor will be home to the new Dataspace—a community space for students, faculty, and researchers to work, collaborate, and learn about data science. Outfitted with specialized hardware and software and staffed with knowledgeable consultants, the Dataspace will provide access to the tools and training needed to develop critical data science and visualization skills, explore big data, and use NC State’s research computing capacity. Follow the NCSU Libraries on social media for announcements about the August opening date of the Dataspace.

The Game Lab at Hunt will also undergo updates this fall with the installation of a new touch-enabled Direct View LED display and flexible furniture to accommodate workshops and interactive exploration of data. The refreshed Game Lab will continue to be a place for recreational gaming and gaming research.

To install these updates, the Game Lab will be closed starting in mid-October through the end of the fall semester. Watch the Libraries social media feeds for more specific closure dates when they are known.

The Game Lab refresh and new Dataspace are thanks to the generous support of an anonymous foundation grant.
