INFORMATION FORUM ON CCL/SML PHASE 2 RENOVATION PLANNING

On behalf of the Library Renovation Phase 2 Planning Committee, 
its chair, Alice Prochaska, invites you 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 use 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:

supervisor approval and service coverage.   Please feel free to extend this
invitation personally to any faculty or students that may be interested in
