The Lounge

The IAM Lounge serves as the social and meeting hub for the IAM members, guests and visitors. It houses the IAM Library and is frequently used as a space to study, eat or relax. The Lounge provides the IAM users with a fridge, microwave oven, kettles, coffee makers, an expresso machine, and filtered drinking water, and has a terminal available for access to the IAM linux network. Several IAM research groups regularly use the Lounge for their meetings, taking advantage of the presentation area equipped with a ceiling-mount projector and a pull-down screen. The Lounge is also used as a place for refreshments and interactions before the IAM seminars, and every Friday morning throughout most of the year, the IAM members gather here for the IAM tea/coffee hour. A Lounge Use Calendar is posted inside the Lounge to help schedule the different activities taking place here.
