Sketch of proposed library building Item Info
- Title:
- Sketch of proposed library building
- Date Created:
- 1903
- Description:
- By 1903, a new request for a standalone library building was being made by President Albert Boynton Storms. Increased use of the library had seen students using window sills as desks, and preventing the collection from fires were frequently cited as reasons for a new building. President Storms reached out to architectural firm Proudfoot and Bird seeking input on the design and cost of a new building. William T. Proudfoot provided a basic sketch and suggested the building would cost $80,000. In 1911, the legislature allocated $225,000 for a new library, but movement would be slow in planning the new building. The library remained in Morrill Hall for two more years.
