Drexel Library Renovation & Post Learning Commons Construction  

The result of this Project is a facility that incorporates the renovated Francis A. Drexel Library with the newly-constructed John and Maryanne Post Learning Commons.  The two buildings are connected by a Glass Atrium.

The entire project doubles the existing space for students, providing a total of 120 computer work stations, an area devoted to Special Collections, a total of 24 collaborative study rooms, along with some specialty rooms for students, remodeled and expanded bathroom facilities, and an enhanced cafe, with an outdoor plaza.  There is also a satellite office for the Career Service Center, Writing Center and Learning Resource Center.  Several "green" elements, such as a partial green roof and ivy walls are included.
