Quiet Floor Quest at UC Clermont

In Fall 2023, the UC Clermont Learning Commons joined the Marcotte Library space on the 2nd floor. After a year and half of the collaboration, we’ve heard your feedback! The 2nd floor of the library will return to a quiet study space. Learning Commons activities and sessions will now be held on the 1st floor, which will make it easier to access and allow for the noise that accompanies group activities.

Open study space will still be available on the 1st floor. If space should be tight, the second floor will be available. Check in for Learning Commons activities will now occur at the front desk. To help increase visibility of the upstairs study space, UC Clermont will be hosting the Quiet Floor Quest through January 24.

 Locate 5 hidden bearcats in the library who each have secret word to share with you. Submit the hidden message in our online form to show you found each of the wily bearcats. Participants in the scavenger hunt will be in raffle for stuffed bearcat of their own with other UC swag.

Online Meeting? Reserve Clermont’s Video Conferencing Rooms

UC Clermont’s Marcotte Library now has video conferencing rooms available to students. Two group rooms on the first floor now include a new mounted display with a built-in camera and microphone. You can sign in to the display using a mouse and keyboard available at the front desk or connect your laptops to the display to host your meeting. The rooms can be reserved online through our website or through the QR codes posted on the doors.

The rooms remain first-come, first-served when no reservations have been made at least 1-business day in advance. Just stop by the front desk to have the room unlocked!
