Construction of the new Library Building (1952-1953)
Abstract/Description: | Previously housed on the fifth floor of University Hall, the library quickly outgrew its space and plans started for a new building in 1948. University Librarian, Mary Gillham, assisted in the design and plan, and published an article on its specifications that became an inspiration for the design of other libraries in the country. It opened in 1953 and later renamed Gillham Hall in honor of the long-serving librarian (1921-1969). |
