Donnelley Library, west facade facing into Middle Campus

Donnelley Library - Exterior

The west "garden" or campus facade or front of the Donnelley Library, probably at the time of its opening, 1965, for publicity purposes. "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).
