The Learning Resources Center construction project was completed in December. Library staff has been busy moving the contents of the Lesher Library into this new facility. Thanks to Parsons Brinckerhoff, the LRC project was completed ahead of schedule and on budget. The old Lesher Library will be taken off-line and prepared for remodeling into a one-stop student services building.
