During the meeting, the Board discussed the introduction of new spaces such as the “sensory room” designed for a quiet environment with dimmable lights and soft furniture. The “mothers’ room” has been renamed the “wellness room” to accommodate nursing needs. Additionally, the former reading room will be called the “community room” to reflect its multifunctional use adjacent to a café and circulation desk. The “Bridges Room” will be named in honor of Deborah Bridges for her contributions, pending family consent.

The Board addressed the removal of the “Humanity Center” sign following the loss of a National Endowment for the Humanities grant, leading to cost savings. Detailed discussions also revolved around signage punctuation, including the use of hyphens in terms like “self-checkout” and “all-gender restroom.”

Regarding the materials, the signs will be made from brushed stainless aluminum and resin, with braille included for accessibility. The Board confirmed their jurisdiction over the indoor signage, while the exterior sign requires approval from the building commissioner.
