Let’s play pretend!

Imagine that you are either:

A. Faculty member

B. Graduate student

C. Undergraduate student

D. Alumni or Visitor

Why are we playing pretend?

• Our library will undergo a massive renovation– 1972, old HVAC system and lighting, Pre‐1976 ADA standards, not much group study space, etc.

• 140,000 square feet on three floors

• Leave the building for 18 months (6/11‐12/12)– Library services will go to the Student Union (Driscoll) Ballroom.  Offices go to an old dorm.

– Books go to a storage facility
