INFORMATION FORUM ON CCL/SML PHASE 2 RENOVATION PLANNING

As Chair of the Library Renovation Phase 2 Planning Committee, I invite
any interested Yale faculty members, students and staff to attend a forum
introducing the proposed program for the comprehensive renovation of the
Cross Campus Library and public portions of the Sterling Memorial Library,
including the Machine City, nave, and Linonia and Brothers [L&B] Reading
Room.  The CCL and SML basement space is envisioned to be substantially
changed in concept and will include an exciting Learning Commons to
support group and individual study as well as expanding assistance in use
of information technologies.

Architects from Shepley Bulfinch Richardson and Abbott [SBRA] will present
these and other program ideas developed with the Committee.   Your
comments will be welcomed either during the Forum or sent afterwards.
Please plan to attend one of the following sessions:

Monday, May 19, 2003
Sterling Memorial Library
Lecture Hall
10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
or
11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
