From the University of Virginia Library:
The UVA Board of Visitors voted unanimously this week to approve the Schematic Design for a renovated Alderman Library.
As outlined in the concept plans (presented in June), key features of the renovation include improved access to Library facilities through expanded northern entryway, more intuitive interior layout including naturally-lit atrium spaces, and significantly improved safety and usability throughout the building. Pending state approval, construction is slated to begin in 2020.
