25th Anniversary Celebration

Odegaard Undergraduate Library Looks to the Future
on its 25th Anniversary

The Odegaard Undergraduate Library at the University of Washington celebrated its 25th anniversary on November 19, 1997 with the dedication of the UWired Commons, the largest drop-in computing center on campus, and a tribute to Dr. Charles E. Odegaard, former university president (1958-1973), and visionary for the library that bears his name. The presence of the 240-seat computing lab, located on the second floor of the library, was a perfect backdrop for ceremonies that celebrated the continually evolving nature of library service to undergraduates.
