Project Summary

The proposed McLure Library Addition and Renovation project  will allow for the relocation of the School of Library and Information Sciences (SLIS) from the 7th floor of Gorgas Library (“Gorgas”) to McLure in accordance with the Gorgas Library Master Plan. SLIS is part of the College of Communications and Information Sciences, and this relocation will enhance program adjacency to Reese Phifer Hall and provide additional space needed in Gorgas while also maintaining the College of Education programs within the space.

The addition will also provide space for code required vertical circulation and an elevator as the building does not currently have one.

ADA access to McLure will be improved through the construction of a new entrance structure, which will also house program space below. Adjacent to the new entry will be a plaza and gathering space designed with brick pavers, precast seat walls, new landscaping, and site lighting.

The existing access plaza to the front of the building from University Boulevard will also be reconstructed as it has exceeded its service life and does not meet current structural code.
