Donnelley Library -- Language laboratory and viewing room on the lower level, following 1983 renovation 

Donnelley Library - Interior

The Donnelley Library, after it opened in 1965, was adapted and re-adapted to changing technology and media in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. This lower level room (south side) was set up as a language laboratory in the 1980s, adjacent to a media center (Audio Visual office), itself created in the 1970s and moved to the lower level in the renovation of 1983. "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).
