Understanding the diverse needs of today’s university libraries helps generate ideas that are more than academic.
In the first decade of its existence (2004-2014), the College of Charleston’s (CofC) Addlestone Library grew in popularity in much the same way as did the overall student population — quickly!
What’s more, the South Carolina Historical Society had also decided to move its collection of research documents and other cherished papers to the library, as well. By spring of 2014, the increase in both students and collections made a re-imagining of the space – without further construction – a necessity.
