The Galter Health Sciences Library at Northwestern University: a library for the 21st century.

Initiated to increase space, renovation planning for Northwestern University's Galter Health Sciences Library evolved into a process for developing a more technology-centered library. Design focused on correcting structural problems and providing greater access to technology. Space was redesigned for functionality and flexibility. Design features included a new entrance, relocated and expanded learning resource center; certain limitations remained. The planning process involved all major groups on campus; construction will be phased.
