Donnelley Library -- Detail of main floor catalog area following 1983 renovation

Donnelley Library - Interior

This black and white image of the part of the library's catalog area shows its state after the 1983 renovation, with the card catalog cabinet still in place (extreme left in photo), the original 1965 catalog work table, the new computer terminal work stations for the online catalog, and the new wall separating the noisy catalog area from the quieter reference works, etc. study area. "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).
