Project Overview
The new Library at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus location will be the focal point to access information from emerging technologies. This state-of-the art facility will be the hub of knowledge at the Anschutz Medical Campus, linking critical components that comprise the institution's mission. The three-level Library will contain 113,005 gsf for administration, circulation, research, general use, a learning resource center, reference services, resource services, systems databases, material storage, education and health informatics, information access and study space, a drug information center, the History of Medicine collection, and specialized building support space. Notable design highlights include:
- Open, quiet study areas for comfortable reader seating
- Small group study rooms for collaborative learning
- Flexibly designed stack areas that will accommodate various print materials more efficiently
- An open, circulating collection of books and bound journals, special collections and archives, reference collections and current journals
- Wireless PDA technology that will allow computer laptops and other portable devices to be used throughout the facility
- Adequate, well-designed and user-accessible staff space, and
- Graphic and virtual reality technology
The total project cost for the Library (including the related Equipment described below) is estimated to be approximately $35 million. The design phase is completed, and completion of construction is expected in October 2007. Davis Partnership/Centerbrook has been selected as the architect for the Library and Mortenson as the contractor.
