Library to open in the fall
Over 100 skilled workers from a variety of contractors are laboring to ensure that the renovation of the Cross Campus Library (CCL) and the basement areas in Sterling Memorial Library will be completed in time for the opening of the fall term.
The ambitious project began just after the end of the 2006 spring semester. Nearly two dozen staff and almost 110,000 volumes were temporarily relocated to the Sterling Memorial Library.
The renovation offered an opportunity to make mechanical, electrical, environmental and telecommunications improvements to CCL to meet current building codes, technological advancements and standards for library collection maintenance. Many of the library's public service and study areas also needed to be upgraded to fulfill Yale students' expectations for places conducive to learning.
Not only has CCL been renovated and enhanced, but the free-standing card catalogues in the Sterling Library nave have been removed and the CCL stairway entrance within Sterling Library has been closed. In lieu of "Machine City," a popular fixture of the old CCL, the new library will feature a café/study lounge where users and staff can enjoy snacks and beverages.
The re-opening of CCL will be officially celebrated later in the fall term. For more information and for photos of the renovation, visit www.library.yale.edu/renovaxn/phase2a.
