The largest undertaking is the renovation of Widener--pegged at $52 million. The library will be equipped with climate control technology, new electrical wiring, news carrels and two reading rooms located at the center of the building.
Following the campaign, the University will change gears and focus on "targeted fundraising," raising money for very specific goals rather than for large areas needing attention. The Widener Library renovation is one such example.
GSC member Kyriell Muhammad said he thought graduate students will be aggravated by the renovations at Widener.
Similarly, Harvard has only raised 88 percent of its goal for its libraries, yet the University is proceeding with a $52 million renovation of Widener Library all the same.
Verba said the Widener renovation would have to be finished whether or not all of the money is raised.
