In 2022, SFA committed $1.5 million to co-locating the Lumberjack Learning Commons units in Steen Library to make our services more accessible to the SFA community. The choice of location is no accident; the library is the academic heart of SFA, a common ground for gathering and learning. LLC facilities provide specialized equipment, welcoming spaces and knowledgeable and professional staff.

They include:

  • 3,900 square foot, SFA Makerspace, which features more than a dozen 3D printers, two laser cutters, sewing machines, embroidery machines, vinyl cutters, virtual reality equipment, graphic/video and music stations, circuitry equipment and more.
  • newly-renovated Learning Lounge, an open studying and gathering space that features comfortable furniture, a collaboration station, vending machines and a small kitchen.
  • Student Success Center, including multiple computer workstations open to all students.
  • Office of International Programs, freshly updated and featuring a small student lounge.
  • Academic Assistance and Resource Center, with nearly 4,000 square feet dedicated to peer tutoring, including multiple adjoined and satellite classrooms.
  • and Center for Teaching and Learning which includes a faculty computer lab and three meeting spaces available for faculty use.
