Construction Tour of the New OC Library/LRC, May 5

On Thursday, May 5, members of the Library & Learning Resources Advisory Committee were given a hard-hat tour of the new LRC construction site. 

 This will be the "west wing" of the LRC, where reference books will be housed, along with tables and chairs for student study. 

 Above, a view of one of three large skylights that will illuminate the floor below.  To the right, a partial view of the main rotunda-like space.  This area will house group study rooms, offices, learning center and tutorial center functions.

 The "east wing" will house the Mathematics Department's Success Academy, with two-person areas for tutoring.

A view from the second floor, where the library's circulating books and magazine collection will be housed.  Each of the shelving areas will hold tables and chairs for student seating. 


Thanks to Will Deits, M & O manager, as well as Heery Construction, for allowing us a glimpse of our new facility-to-be.  We were informed that construction is planned for completion around January 2012, with move-in over Summer 2012 and grand opening for Fall 2012.
