Planning Starts for Expanded Fenwick Library

Apr 10th, 2009 by

Design work for the expansion of Fenwick Library on the Fairfax Campus will start mid-April, and the university community is invited to participate in planning for the new addition. Opportunities to engage the planning project team will center around a series of Open Forum meetings for faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students. This project website will build upon face-to-face contact at these meetings, provide updated details on project developments, and allow library users build an e-community around the creation of an expanded library. We invite you to participate in the planning process as we define the Libraries’ future at George Mason University.

The new library programming and conceptual design phases are scheduled to be completed by the end of June.
