The library is a spacious and modern, multi-level learning environment, which provides designated spaces for both collaboration and quiet study.<\/p>\n<p>When Library Director Laura Horne-Popp and her team decided to upgrade their service desk, they were looking for something that felt contemporary and welcoming. In particular, they wanted a desk that provided sit-to-stand height adjustability and a comfortable space for staff to work alongside students within a relatively compact footprint.<\/p>\n<p>The team opted for our height-adjustable YAKETY YAK 307 Island Counter, designed specifically for use as a stand-alone service desk in open library space. The dual meeting ends encourage comfortable interaction between staff and customer, while height adjustability enables staff to easily adjust the desk to meet their own and student\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>[vc_gallery type=&#8221;image_grid&#8221; images=&#8221;61694,61702,61698&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1792466378619{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;grid-thumbs&#8221;]<div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #009380;\"><strong>Products <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/yaketyyakfurniture.com\/en_au\/product\/yakety-yak-307-island-counter\/\">Yakety Yak 307 Island Counter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/yaketyyakfurniture.com\/en_au\/product\/atdec-ora-articulated-monitor-arm\/\">ATDEC Monitor Arm<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #009380; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Colours and finishes <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Worktop:<\/strong> Laminex Formica (HPL), AGED ASH<br \/>\n<strong>Upper Body:<\/strong> Melteca (LPL), MEMPHIS BLUE<br \/>\n<strong>Lower Body:<\/strong> Melteca (LPL), CARRIBEAN<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-61706\" src=\"https:\/\/yaketyyakfurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Colors-and-Finishes-YAKETY-YAK-200-Series-Desks.jpg\" alt=\"YAKETY YAK 307 Island Counter colors at Rockhurst University.\" width=\"389\" height=\"115\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #009380;\"><strong>Customer Feedback<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe desk provides the welcoming tone we wanted in a service point for our library.
