Mansueto Library Opening (and other spring campus photos)

Tomorrow marks the unofficial opening of the Joe and Rika Mansueto Library. The library features underground book stacks and a robotic arm that fetches books for you. Above ground, a large glass dome surrounds the reading room. Perhaps the architects were trying to make up for the dark, prison-like atmosphere in the adjacent Regenstein Library. The reading room seats 180, and I have a feeling it will be way over capacity for the first few weeks after opening. Enjoy!
