Heart Beats Anew
Skillman Library, Intellectual Center of Campus, Reopens
Skillman Library reopened this
fall after undergoing most of a $22
million expansion and renovation project that added 28,000 square feet and substantially altered all interior spaces.
The building, to be rededicated in
April, has many new and enhanced
features including instruction rooms
with computers and network connectivity,
a formal reading room and a periodicals reading area overlooking the Quad, a special collections suite with expanded
space for working with rare books and manuscripts, and a digital media lab
with high-end technology.
The library also has a public program room for talks, readings, and film screenings, a cafe, 25 percent more
seating capacity, 20 years of collection growth space, network access at virtually every seat, and improved staff work spaces.
