The renovation project at the Downs-Jones Library will add new interior schemes to the facility, and create more open spaces and study areas for the students. The new library will also feature a central circulation desk, which will be surrounded by a central master staircase with glass handrails and innovative interior architectural walls.
It will feature a cafe with coffee and snack offerings, in addition to, books, publications, videos, and artwork. Work is expected to complete by the end of 2012.
Downs-Jones Library was built in 1960 and is named after two former presidents of the parent schools: Karl E. Downs and William H. Jones.
