The majority of the work will center on the library’s lobby and the area outside, according to the Springfield News-Sun. School officials hope that this will precede many changes coming to campus under the new owners.
The lobby is slated to be a high-tech center, and officials would like create an outdoor classroom with new landscaping and a brick path connecting the library to campus museum buildings.
