Aerial photo of Waldo Library, 1961
Since its construction in 1958, the Waldo Library has undergone two major renovations, in 1967 and in 1991. Each project almost doubled the total area of the building; in 1967 the Library went from 86,000 to 150,000 gross square feet, and in 1991 it increased to 262,000 gross square feet. The 1961 photo to the left shows the original shape and exterior of the Library. The plans below illustrate the original building functions.
