Second Floor Silence We have received complaints about the noise on the second floor. We would therefore like to remind you that the entire open area on the second floor is designated as a silent area (just as the Reading Room on the ground floor), so that all of our students can use te study spots for self-study without being disturbed. EUC will soon add signs to this effect, to help you remind yourselves and/or to help you when you want to point this out to your fellow students. Please use the lounge on the ground floor and the basement area if you want to mingle, phone, chat or just not being concerned too much about causing noise.
