Candler Library was constructed in 1926 on the original quadrangle at Emory University. As part of the Woodruff Library expansion and renovation, a plan was developed to include Candler Library. The Boyken International team was engaged to validate, update, and test information regarding the renovation of Candler Library.
The team interfaced with multiple departments, including the Dean’s Office, to establish the program areas, the sequencing of activities, total project requirements, and project budget estimates for the three-phased renovation program.
The renovated four-story library houses the Dean’s suite, the African American Studies Program, The Center for Teaching and Curriculum, Special Projects, a media services area and eight classroom/seminar rooms. The third-floor reading room was converted to a two-story space and designed with historical sensitivity including an Art History section. The three-stack floor areas were converted to two floors with compressed stacks.
The program and budget confirmation services were performed in preparation for the Emory Board’s approval for funding. The building was re-opened in the fall of 2003.
