Abstract
This article describes the media wall exhibit program used to showcase and promote the work of Yale faculty, researchers, academic units, and university-sponsored community programs. With the mandate to combine two traditional, academic branch libraries and astatistical lab, designing a new hybrid service model was crucial. Planners reviewed dataabout students’ use of space, visited innovative library sites, and researched architectural features that could be included to create a vital,aesthetically pleasing collaborative space forthe 21st century. Data showed that students preferred group study spaces and an interactive community facility. A media wall is an avenue for interaction with this research community and a new model for exhibits.
