Construction crews at the Mansueto Library continue work on both the ground and basement levels. Here are some photos from November 5 highlighting the latest progress.
Just in case there might be any question as to what this will be,
it is clearly marked as a “hole,” located within our ground level
space where the automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) will deliver large racks containing boxes of archival materials.
The site of the future work station where the ASRS will deliver the bins containing rare book materials, which will then be retrieved by staff members and delivered to patrons.

The dome looks awesome! Steel frame and clear glass looks elegant, even in their raw forms. I can't wait to see the finished product. I bet its gonna be a stunner.

What a great place to put a library. Hope that it doen't get too hot in there. The dome is awsome and by the looks of it a major construction project.

I love the construction photos, and I have to say that the view looking up through the dome is really incredible. I bet the finished product will be outstanding.
