The library's 5th floor has five mezzanines - balconies that are accessed by blue spiral staircases.
These mezzanines are additional workspaces that match the noise level of their respective sound zones. There is one mezzanine in the collaborative zone, two in the quiet zone, and two in the silent zone. Each one is set up a little differently and all provide some level of fire safety and emergency exits.
The second mezzanine of the quiet zone, found in Room 5 on our floor plan, also houses the Centre for Rupert's Land Studies.
