Environment

Watson Hall is a five story, limestone library on the campus of the University of Kansas. The main entrance opens to the third floor and to a large room broken into different sections. Across from the entrance and to the left is a split level staircase which leads to the lower level of the library and to where an entrance to the stacks may be found most quickly. 
Upon venturing deeper into the library towards the stacks, ones ability to navigate becomes impaired because the general lack of wayfinding devices. The repetitive and overbearing feeling one can feel once in the stacks can be disorienting for some people as well.
