| The Preston Smith Library, a 116,958 GSF facility, was constructed in 1998. Student needs and library functions have changed significantly since the library building was originally constructed. Reference and resource needs have shifted from physical space to the cloud, and space that once housed stacks of books is now empty. The redesign of the Preston Smith Library building into a Center of Innovative Learning focused on advancing collaborative knowledge acquisition, which will serve to elevate this vital campus resource into the digital age.
The project will renovate the entire 29,837 GSF of the second floor. The design will include the following:
Open study / collaboration area
Maker Space / Design Studio
Office suites
Library Administration
Rare Book Room
Service desk / Interlibrary Loan office
Academy of Teaching, Leadership, and Learning
Huddle Room
