The old entrance to the building will be redesigned by eliminating the 'bridge' to the second floor and establishing a new entrance at the first floor level. That one alteration should help to correct 32 years of student confusion. With the entrance to the building on the second floor, students have always had difficulty figuring out what floor of the library they're on. A second elevator will be added directly in front of the building's existing elevator, guaranteeing easier access to the second, third and fourth floors. One complaint library users have voiced over the years is that the building has very few windows.
Natural lighting is almost non-existent.
Bricks will not be replaced on the exterior walls, those walls will be concrete. Considerable window space will be opened up. The interior of the building will seem quite airy in comparison to what it is now. The building will have an altogether different look on the outside. It will, in fact, appear to be a brand new structure, not remotely resembling the building that sits on the site today.
