The Foster Business Library began an expansion project this summer to add nearly 3,500 additional square feet to the library. The new space is located in the basement of Balmer Hall and includes the stack rooms formerly occupied by the former Business Administration Library. The majority of the renovated space will house the Foster Business Library book collection. The project also will allow the return of the Balmer Copy Center to the Library. Space limitations prohibited the inclusion of the Copy Center in the new library facility when it moved to its new location in the Seafirst Executive Education Center in June 1997.
You may wonder why a new library needs to expand after only one year in operation. Budget constraints during the original planning for the Foster Business Library forced the Libraries to conceive of the new library as a multi-phase project. The completion of the Balmer Expansion Project during Autumn Quarter 1998, will complete phase two. A third and final phase, yet unfunded, will provide for the construction of a library instruction room in the Foster Business Library.
