Purdue Libraries is proud to share that two of its spaces were recognized in The Exponent\u2019s recent Readers\u2019 Choice rankings of campus study spaces. The Wilmeth Active Learning Center (WALC) was voted the #1 study space on campus, while Hicks Library earned the #3 spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From flexible, technology-rich environments to quiet areas for focused work, WALC and Hicks Library continue to meet the diverse needs of the Purdue community. The rankings reflect not only the quality of the facilities, but also the dedication of the library faculty and staff who work each day to create welcoming, supportive spaces for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
