    Crabbe Library andNoel Studio History

In1994, the completion of the Thomas and Hazel LittleBuilding added a modern twist and linked the oldestbuilding on campus, the 1874 University Building, with theCrabbe Library and expanded library space by nearly fiftypercent. The unique sky-lit atrium created during thisproject is the site of the library caf, a popular gatheringspace for faculty and students. Including additionsconstructed in 1935 and 1967 and major renovations in1983 and 2010, the library now encompasses a span of

    14/40

    over one-hundred thousand square feet and is home tonearly seven-hundred thousand books.

    In 2003, changes in student need once again promptedEKU Libraries to evaluate its spaces; however, this timeshifts in service paradigms and major renovations led tothe development of a new service point. In seven shortyears, an idea was born and enhanced by a creative teamdedicated to an innovative library space: an integratedservice point providing assistance not only for research,but also for writing and communication, which wouldserve students well into the future. In 2010, the dreambecame reality when renovations to 10,000 square feet ofspace located in the heart of the 1924 and the 1935areas of Crabbe Library were completed to integrate

    writing, oral communication, and research support in theNoel Studio for Academic Creativity.
