Architects Assessing Our Future Space Needs

As you may have heard, the Library has begun a long-range space planning project. Headed by architectural firm RMJM Hillier, the six-month process will anticipate the Library’s changing space needs for the next 20 years.

Initial meetings have been held, but consultants may be stopping by your department to get the lay of the land and your feedback on space use. Formal announcements and updates to the campus will be posted to the space planning web page http://www.library.northwestern.edu/spaceplanning/ on the Library site. Additional information and announcements will be circulated within the Library.

The project steering committee, which oversees the logistics of the planning, is comprised of the Administrative Committee; John Blosser; Suzette Radford; Lois Remeikis, Associate Dean for Information Services at NU School of Law; Jim Shedlock, head of Galter; and Elizabeth Hitchcock, from Facilities Management. If you have questions or comments on space planning, please speak with your AUL or email planning@northwestern.edu.
