Event Overview
How do you transform a 50-year-old library into a vibrant hub for research, technology, and collaboration? Burke Library’s summer 2023 redesign addressed evolving student needs, incorporating cutting-edge teaching and technology spaces while highlighting collections.

This webinar will offer practical insights for those considering or planning renovations, covering project management, communication strategies, and lessons learned along the way.

Intended Audience:
Library staff, administrators, and facilities planners preparing for redesign or renovation projects.
