ibrary Building Project
Continues on Schedule
Hal Dean, architect of the new NMSU Library, is designing a building which will become the focal point for the campus. The
building will be located in McFie Circle
south of Milton Hall. The site was chosen
because it locates the library in the center of
the campus and provides space for the next
phases of the building project.
The project is a challenge for Dean since he
is designing not only a library but also a
new mall linking the old library to the new
as well as continuing on to the International
Mall. With landscaping, art, and walkways,
the library site will become the campus hub.
The Library Building Committee, working
with the Dean/Krueger and Associates, Inc.
staff, has completed the programming phase
of the project Currently the architectural
staff is finishing the schematics for the
building which will house the library's
education, humanities, and social sciences
collections, and the Library Administration
offices. Branson Hall will continue to be
used as a library facility housing the
agriculture, business, science, and technology collections as well as the University
Archives and the library's special collections. The Technical Services and Collection Management departments and the
Government Documents unit will also
remain in Branson Hall. The building
project should be bid by the end of August
1992.
Members of the Library Building Committee are Lowell Duhrsen, Interim Dean
of the Library; Thomas Gale, Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences; Valerie
Horton, Systems Librarian; Anne
Morgan, Interim Associate Dean of the
Library; Karen Stabler, Head of Information Services; Bonnie Wetzel, Head of
the Serials Records Unit; and Cheryl
Wilson, Special Collections Librarian.
University Architect Martin Hoffmeister
is the university's liaison to the commit-
Dean's firm has experience in library
design as well as other public buildings.
The firm designed the University of New
Mexico Centennial Library and a library
for Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, the Mustang Library in
Scottsdale, Arizona, and the Thomas
Branigan Memorial Library in Las
Cruces. On the NMSU campus, he
designed the Educational Services Center
and the Business Complex. His designs
reflect his concerns for lighting and
energy use. He believes good design is
how a building functions more than how
it looks, however, its looks can create
excitement and increase its use. g
