The Lathrop Library is an
undergraduate library that houses the East Asia Library and many classrooms.
The building was formerly occupied by the Graduate School of Business, has been
recently renovated, is named for Jane Lathrop Stanford, co-founder of the
university (with her husband, Leland), and is located at the corner of Lasuen
Mall and Serra Mall, adjacent to Memorial Auditorium and the Oval.
Classroom 282 has a
capacity of 150 people in a flexible and accessible environment, including
mobile large screens for group work on a laptop, large 3D-capable screens able
to display a wide range of inputs, a mobile presentation and annotation
lectern, and a synthetic acoustics system that supports both class-wide large
group discussion and small group work.
