Series IV. Facilities, 1947- 2006

Restricted until 2032

This series contains the records related to facilities management such as maintenance logs, disaster reports and space inventories. The majority of the series is related to the construction of the "new" library on top of Butler Library in the early 1980s. The series consists of correspondence, photographs, planning and construction files; blue prints; financial records for fundraising; construction memos and other records that resulted from the renovation made to the Rare Book and Manuscript Library.
