 In
March 1997, the Spahr
Library underwent a major renovation project which included an expansion
of the current library; on October 23, 1998, the Robert A. Waidner section
of the Waidner-Spahr Library was officially dedicated. The new extension
doubled the amount of space available in the Spahr wing (which underwent
its own renovation), and allowed the College to house all of its books,
collections, and holdings under one roof. The expanded library now also
contains computer labs, classrooms, and individual study rooms. It was
designed by Perry Dean Rogers and Partners, and constructed at a cost of
$14 million. Its namesake, Mr. Waidner, was a member of the class of 1932
and of the Dickinson College Board of Trustees. |
