Case statement
University Libraries are centers of discovery and learning where students conduct research and develop skills to process and utilize rapidly changing information and technology they will encounter throughout their lives. Libraries have been a part of our culture for centuries and will continue to be essential to the intellectual and cultural fabric of our communities for generations to come.
The new addition to William Robertson Coe Library will add interactive learning spaces such as group study rooms, electronic classrooms, video rooms, and the Alma Doke McMurry Reading Room to accommodate different learning styles. The new facility will meet student demands for integrated learning that combines information, technology, and assistance in a modern facility.
As a primary social center for the university, William Robertson Coe Library will continue to feature The Book & Bean Cafe and have new meeting facilities for university gatherings. Faculty will be pleased with the new facility for the Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning, the Writing Center, and the improved spaces for the libraries’ collections and special collections housing the Grace Raymond Hebard Collection.
I ask you to join me in this endeavor and consider making a gift to the University Libraries’ Building Campaign. There are wonderful gift naming opportunities available and other gift opportunities for donors who would like to contribute to this notable facility.
Please consider a gift to the libraries today and leave your legacy at UW!
