Phase One Two major changes planned in remodeling are the relocation of the rare book room and the elimination of the study rooms by the temporary east en- trance, Means said. Carpeting the upper two levels was completed in September. One of the features of the new building is a walkway commons area, located under the skylight. Included are new restrooms, drinking fountain, booths, lounge furniture and tables for study, Means said. All of this is before you enter the library itself, Means said. On your right, you will see into the library because of the glass wall, but you won ' t be in the library. Other changes include the relocation of the reference department, microfilm and microfiche and twelve new learning, viewing, and study rooms. Landscaping provides an aesthetic setting for the expanded Alumni Memorial Library. A skylit atrium encloses the new south entrance to the library. jerry Melchtor 21 Alumni Library

Sheridan Hall, at 24th Dodge, will be razed sometime after August, 1984, to make way for the InterNorth Center of- fice complex. Over the past year, students had the opportunity to see much of the activity at the building site, along with the Omaha Public Works Department ' s widening and improvement of 24th Street south of cam- pus, that will include two lanes of traffic in both directions and a boulevard.
