Houghton, Jr. Library to the Learning Resources building, the Classroom building and the Administration building. For years, students have asked when the Library will be connected to the Science Building and the other side of campus. Well, ask no more! By the fall of 2015, an enclosed walkway will connect the lower level of the Library to the lower level of the Science building. Here is the progress so far:<br />

It really is a complete re-imagining of our space! The columns used to mark the central "gallery" of our building, with the spaces behind the columns on both sides closed off as study rooms, conference rooms, and offices. You would never have been able to get the kind of view across the building that we now have when the space was laid out like this -<br />

The newest addition to the presidential portrait gallery, our current President Katherine Douglas, hangs around the corner in the main gallery. Her portrait was painted by Dustin Boutwell, a local Corning artist.<br />

The intent is that in the future, President Douglas' portrait will be moved in next to President Amann's, and the next president will hang where hers is currently located. </div>

In my last post, you may have noticed another portrait hanging behind our old circulation area, near Arthur A. Houghton, Jr.'s portrait. That is Walter Smith, a long-time member of CCC's history department and a rather legendary figure on campus. His portrait now hangs across the hall from the Presidential Alcove, in a similar space.</div>

One thing you'll find in our new space is study space, both private and public, in all different sizes. And it is difficult to photograph! In the picture above, you can see most of one of the more popular group study rooms - and there is a similar one next to the presidential portraits. At the very end of the building is a large meeting room, identical in size and dimension to our previous "Board Room" space, but this one has a large LCD display AND projection capabilities.</div>

The flags, featuring our benefactor Arthur A. Houghton, Jr., were put up for our grand opening event on April 10. Grass is on the way, but it is only April, and the ground has been torn up for over a year, after all!<br />
<br />
Here is the vestibule, just inside the front doors.<br />

On the right you can see our donor wall, recognizing all the groups and individuals who made donations to the renovation campaign. Many of the names seen here are also on spaces throughout the building, as their donations allowed them to designate a specific area or room. Also featured on this plaque are opening lines from great works of literature. <br />

To your left is our program space (denoted on posters as L102). It can hold 50-70 people comfortably for speakers and presentations, and has a large screen and projector. When not being used for such functions, you can find current magazines and newspapers here, as well as a great casual space to study or relax.<br />

Continuing on, you are now entering the remodeled space. On both sides of the gallery you can see pieces of art - we'll talk more about those in another post - and directly in front of you is a portrait of Arthur A. Houghton, Jr.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Also featured on (in!) this wall is Excalibur, a piece of Steuben crystal that is also visible in the painting (look on the table next to Mr. Houghton's right hand).<br />
<br />
If this looks familiar, it is because Arthur has always had a place of honor on this wall. However, our main desk used to sit between those 2 columns, like this -<br />

Are you getting a sense of the enormity of the changes that happened around here?!?!?<br />
<br />
Our main desk is now located to your right, at a 90-degree angle to Arthur/where the desk was before. Staff offices are behind that and along both exterior walls. Course reserves are on the shelves that you can see behind the desk in the picture below - ask at the desk if you are looking for a textbook. This is also the place to get research help, check out a laptop, tablet or graphing calculator, and ask all your library-related questions!<br />

Our renovation odyssey is (mostly!) complete! Stay tuned next week for more pictures, both old and new, as we recap the project and show off our new spaces.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, find your favorite nook and curl up with a good book...obviously a timeless pastime, as these pictures illustrate! (And there usually ARE students sitting here - your photographer took this picture on a Friday afternoon, so as not to need signed picture release forms and all that.)Arthur A.

Houghton, Jr. Library was packed and moved to a storage facility (click <a href="http://aahlibraryconstruction.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-books-have-left-building.html" target="_blank">this link</a> to read about the process). Today, the good folks at Naglee Movers brought them back to their new home!<br />

One of the crew hard at work re-shelving books. You can see the stickers on the shelves - these numbers correspond to the labels on the carts. Because it is compact shelving, workers cannot always work in sequence, and careful numbering means that shelving can happen in different spots simultaneously.</div>
