sections of the building are
equipped with elevators making it
easily accessible to the
handicapped. He also noted that
the building is equipped with full
fire and security systems
including a sprinkler system,
fireproof walls around heating and
electrical equipment, and barriers
to prevent smoke from traveling
from one area to another.
The interior of the building
features various balconies and
overhangs like the ones in the
Wintergreen Lobby in the Reed
Building. The main entrance to
the new building is mostly glass
with a four-story ceiling.
The center of the library is
open from the first floor up to
the skylights on the roof of the
third floor. The second floor
balcony is enclosed in glass to
prevent noise from carrying from
one level to the next. Also,
most of the interior of the library
will be carpeted to help with
noise reduction.
Meyer admits that "It's going
to be a beautiful building. I'm
very proud of it."
There will be no new parking
added around the library. The
only vehicles with access are
those used for deliveries. A
driveway from the Reed lot to a
loading dock on the north face is
the only road to the building.
Students will reach the library
by sidewalks and enter at the end
of the academic hall closest to the
Reed Building or through the
main entrance in front of Niagara.
Once students enter either the
ground floor of the academic
wing or the first floor of the
library, they will use stairs or the
elevator to reach the study rooms
and computer centers located on
the ground floor of the library.
Meyer continued that the
heating system "is very unique
and efficient." A portion of the
ceiling is made up of a one foot
wide aluminum strip. Hot water
passes through copper pipes
above the aluminum, warming
the strips and radiating heat into
the rooms. Heating and cooling
systems use hot and cold water to
condition the air.
The money for the project was
first allocated back in 1984.
Nine years later, the project is a
few months from completion.
