  • A "Book Brigade" was organized to move the text from the old building to the new Hamersly Library building in 1999. The same technique had been used when the library moved from Campbell Hall in 1951.

  • Many complained of the excessive noise problem as the long curving glass windows and open spaces of the mezzanine combined to carry sound.
