Jackson Library Spaces

The Julia Cameron Trice Alcove was dedicated in 2009. Renovating the Alcove was made possible by a donation from Brandon Rea Bensley (MLS UNCG, 2000) in honor of her grandmother, Julia Cameron Trice, a 1943 graduate of Woman’s College (now UNCG) and Home Economics major.

The Trice Alcove provides an attractive traditional study space with a variety of seating and wireless connectivity for contemporary research. The area also displays posters from the Robert C. Hansen Performing Arts Collection.

Jackson Library Tower Room 570 is a private space for students, employees, and visitors to pump or to breastfeed/chestfeed a baby. (Note: parents or caretakers may also breastfeed/chestfeed babies in other areas of Jackson Library if they choose.)

The room is cleaned daily. Extra precautions are being taken with this room and this building, but you use this room at your own risk.
