Construction work for the long-anticipated renovation of the main floor of Axinn Library began on May 21. According to Daniel R. Rubey, dean of library and information services, President Stuart Rabinowitz has approved design plans by the Locust Valley architectural firm Bentel & Bentel. The architects worked closely with University faculty, administration and staff of the library in developing the plans, which reflect the library’s role as the campus gateway to information. The renovation will be completed early in the fall.
