Description
Donnelley Library (1964, 1965) from the southeast. Carnegie Hall can be seen in the background to the right of the library. The space between the photographer and the library now (2012) includes parking and the Mohr Student Center.
"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).
