Donnelley Library, Middle Campus -- South and West Facades (prior to 1988)

Donnelley Library - Exterior

Color photo of Donnelley Library taken during what appears to be the fall. The front glass wall and side that faces the cafeteria are shown. The future Hotchkiss Hall can be seen in the background, at this time with its windows still boarded up prior to the 1988 renovation there. The building corner shrubs too are overgrown. "The Donnelley Library was designed by Perkins & Will to be balanced, symmetrical, and imposing. Its boxy massing was enlivened with touches that rather incongruously suggested a Japanese tea house, including rocky landscaping where it was set into the undulating terrain, a wide veranda around the main floor, and a distinctive hipped roof" (Carolyn E. Lowry on Donnelley Library in "Lake Forest College: A Guide to the Campus," 2007, pp. 42-43).
