When heavy use started to take a toll on Gleason library’s appearance, CPL’s higher education team was engaged to develop an effective renewal plan for this Campus staple. A modern, spacious “look and feel” was achieved through a new layout, which features expanded group and individual study spaces, more comfortable furnishings and inspiring finish updates. The renovation allows the building to continue to thrive as an exciting, prominent hub for student discovery and collaboration.
