J. Paul Leonard Library and Sutro Library
(# 58) |
|
|
|
| The renovation and expansion of the J. Paul Leonard and Sutro Library at San Francisco State University addressed the need to accommodate a growing student population and restored structural inadequacies while concurrently updating the building’s electrical and telecommunication systems. In total, the project adds 34% more space, 50% more seating, 50% more group study areas, 50% more collection capacity, both in open stacks and a high-density automated retrieval system, and 100% more computers; all while providing a flexible and congenial learning environment in the heart of campus. |
