Is up and running!
Opening Day, March 26th, dawned cold and clear as students, faculty and the campus community wandered around the 35,000+ square foot facility, marveling at the blue stairwells, the glass walls with views of Granite Mountain, the self-checkout machine, the wide and inviting book shelves and the 40-computer Information Commons.
Barely two months later on May 3rd, 2008, a perfect Spring day -- warm and sunny, Dedication Day! Following graduation ceremonies on the Athletic field, we shuttled over to the new library to hear speeches by the Christine and Steven Udvar-Hazy, Sarah Thomas, Library Director and others, later stepping into the library for tours, celebratory champagne, roast turkey sandwiches and chocolate-covered strawberries. People raved!
