Donnelley Library--- Circulation area following 1983 renovation

Donnelley Library - Interior

Biggs, Victor

The image shows the post renovation Donnelley Library circulation area, with a staff terminal to the state high education library system, the host to the circulation records. Victor Biggs, assistant librarian in charge, is shown, as well, with students. There are signs that display "Reserve Reading," "Catalog..." and, "Book Check-Out" seen as well, the signage developed as part of the architect Edward Noonan/CAPA led renovation. . "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).
