Campus Renovations

We're super excited about the soon-to-be-opened Library Learning Commons, but the Dick Smith Library isn't the only building on campus undergoing renovations.

Check out Tarleton's renovations website for updates on other projects:  the Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center, the One-Stop Shop at the Tarleton Center, new residence hall construction, Alumni Island, and the O. A. Grant Humanities Building.

The latter has a cool glass tower on the southwest corner of the building, facing the intersection of Washington and Lillian streets.  This tower is also adjacent to the visitor parking lot (P12) next to the library.  The photo at right was taken on Sunday night as I was leaving the library.  Check out the cool lighting on the tower!

A photo of the tower in daylight can be found on the university's Instagram account.

Library changes

The main floor of the library is looking really bare.  We are clearing the area so that construction can start soon for the new Learning Commons!   The computers and tables will be moving next week.  If you would like to keep up with the status of the work, check the Library Learning Commons Renovation website. If you're a more visual person, the library also posts pictures of the status on their Flickr account.
