LIBRARY UPDATE

winter '12

New Spaces for New Times

Students require study spaces as dynamic as they are.

Thanks to two major gifts, the Library will be making tremendous improvements to student study spaces in the Dana Porter Library in 2012.

» $25,000 from the Mary and Warren Ober Foundation to create the Warren and Mary Ober Group Study Rooms on the tenth floor of the Dana Porter Library. The renovation will incorporate accessibility and universal design principles to create a welcoming and efficient study space for students.

» $100,000 from Elise Devitt to contribute to a complete renovation of the Dana Porter Library’s sixth floor. The renovation will include the creation of the James and Elise Devitt Group Study Room and will reflect recommendations from a recent assessment of the Library that will set the standard for changes to additional floors in the future.

Additional renovation and relocation projects currently or soon-to-be underway include a renovation of the public areas in the Davis Centre Library and the relocation and integration of the University Map Library into the Dana Porter Library.
