New Building

I got a tour of the new building! A group of us from the Library and Learning Center went over at 4 to get hard hats from the construction trailer, and Rich Greer, the site manager, unlocked the door and took us in.

There was yellow caution tape where walls were painted, and stacks of shelving laying about, but how exciting it was to see the reality of what I have been hearing about. I am struck by how homey and comfortable the place is already - large windows with great views, a double fireplace, interior views that allow you to feel the spaciousness of the architecture. Now the conversations about where things will be make much more sense.

We still have much to do before the move in at the end of the month. Staff here have been weeding, boxing, redirecting, thinking, planning for months. Its still hard to think of all the things we will need to settle once we move. Great times though. I can't wait for the company that will move the collection to start. That's what will make this seem real.

Here are a few links that will give you a sense of what's coming!

Promo - but gives excellent and very accurate idea of how the library looks - note the fireplace in the cafe and grad study areas!
