The (current) southern side of Alderman is proposed to have additional doors on each side of the existing entrance.

The UVA Board of Visitors voted unanimously this week to approve the Schematic Design for a renovated Alderman Library.

As outlined in the concept plans (presented in June), key features of the renovation include improved access to Library facilities through expanded northern entryway, more intuitive interior layout including naturally-lit atrium spaces, and significantly improved safety and usability throughout the building. Pending state approval, construction is slated to begin in 2020. Read more about features of renovated Alderman.

The Schematic Design approved this week featured additional renderings of outdoor spaces. See a few examples below or browse the full presentation (PDF).
