Brigham Young University officials recently announced a plan to add 60,000 square feet to the J. Reuben Clark Law School Library.
The expansion is needed to keep pace with the continual growth in several different areas, including library book placement, increased campus traffic and technological advances."We really don't have a place to teach courses about computer automated legal research tools," said Gary Hill, associate law librarian. "A larger area for the students to have their carrel areas was also needed, because we are really tied for space right now."
In addition to more space for library books, there will be new training facilities and an upgraded computer system comprised of 65 new terminals.
After expansion is complete in August 1996, the law library should be prepared for 20 years of growth, Hill said.
