UChicago Fall 2012

Fall on the UChicago campus is gorgeous - it's hard to resist stopping between classes to capture images of the colorful leaves surrounding the gothic (and not-so-gothic) architecture. Unfortunately,  the leaves all pretty much gone now, so campus will be cold and bland until we get our first snow (when it will be really cold and really bland, but that pretty wintery sort of bland.)

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!
