Athletic study tables draw student complaints

A floor once known for quiet study has become the center of a growing campus dispute. Grasselli Library’s third floor, traditionally regarded by students as one of the building’s quietest study areas, has drawn complaints over noise during scheduled athletic study tables. Now, library administrators are responding to concerns from students and employees, increasing staff patrols and considering moving the athletic study sessions to another floor. Max Nadeau ’27, a student assistant who has worked at the library for all four years, first noticed the disruption not while working a shift but while studying on the third floor himself. Nadeau was studying on a Sunday when athletic study tables were scheduled to begin. He said the change in atmosphere was almost immediate. “Pretty much right when they were scheduled to start, there was a massive increase in the noise level in the library,” Nadeau said.
