 Nearly 1000 seats were added to the library, but shelf space was decreased, so many volumes were moved to other locations.The renovation focused on opening up the library space to natural light and creating a more coherent space.Features added in the renovation include a new West Atrium and Buckeye Reading Room, glass walls for the lower floors of the 1951 book tower, exhibition space for the library's special collections, a café, and a ground-floor east-west passageway that extends the Oval's "Long Walk" through the building.
