The renovation of the four-story, 100,000-square-foot Charles E. Shain Library at Connecticut College encompassed the installation of a large expanse of glass in the original concrete façade, selected interior demolition and renovation, and a 600-square-foot addition to the front entrance and front façade. Additional improvements included a new Technology Commons, a renovated Digital Scholarship and Curriculum Center, and new study spaces and reading rooms. A 24-hour café and study area on the first floor was created and a new plaza was constructed in front of the building.
STV performed owner’s project management services and was also responsible for furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) procurement and coordination. With the team’s support, the award-winning project was completed five months ahead of schedule.
