FALL 1987
Library expansion and renovation
completed for fall semester
Most university students find
studying a chore, but at UNCW,
cracking the books should be
somewhat easier in the improved
and expanded library.
The William M. Randall Library
construction and renovation project
was completed in July, after 18
months of work to add 23,500
square feet and renovate the
original facility built in 1969,
Construction began in August
1985 to increase the size of the old
70,000-square-foot library to 93,500
gross square feet. The cost for
renovation, construction, new
furniture and carpeting totalled
about $7 million, said Gene
Huguelet, director of library
services.
The library collection and
services were relocated to the new
section during the 1986 Christmas
break. At that time renovation
began on the original facility. The
entire library collection is now in
permanent placement in both new
and renovated areas, Huguelet
said.
The library can accommodate
475,000 books, Huguelet said,
which is 175,000 more than the
current collection. It can also seat
950 students, more than doubling
the seating capacity of the old
library.
Huguelet said he has ordered
110 study carrels that will seat
four students each. The old tables
and chairs will be relocated to the
study lounges in the residence
halls.
“The library is much more
attractive, and hopefully will be
conducive to study,” Huguelet
said.
The card catalogue will soon be
stored on computers near the front
entrance. Once installed, the
system will afford quick access at
the touch of a button to available
books. Huguelet said he hopes to
bring the catalogue on line by
September.
The library will also house a
microcomputer facility, which is
scheduled for operation by fall
semester, he said.
The cluster will consist of 31
microcomputers accessible to
individual students and scheduled
hands-on class assignments, said
Bob Berg, applications analyst
programmer for UNCW Computer
and Information Systems. Business
classes frequently use the
microcomputers for spreadsheet
financial analyses, he said.
Eleven of the microcomputers
will be transferred from King Hall
and the university will purchase
another 20, Berg said. With the
installation of the library cluster,
students will have access to about
90 on-campus computers.
Another special feature of the
library expansion is an orientation
room for videotaped library orien
tation presentations, Huguelet
said.
The library also houses a large
lounge near the entrance,
furnished with comfortable chairs
and sofas for studying or relaxing.

Campus logo introduced for 40th year
In celebration of UNCW’s for
tieth anniversary, a new logo has
been designed and implemented on
campus stationery, business cards,
presentation folders, and as a con
sistent identifiable feature of pub
lications. The design incorporates
the university’s destinctive and
recognizable Georgian architecture,
which is so rooted in the character
of the university.
“A uniform symbol to represent
UNCW had long been a goal of
this university, and the fortieth
anniversary was a perfect time to
design and implement a logo,” said
Renee Brantley, director of univer
sity publications.
“The logo clarifies the image of
UNCW, and gives the campus a
visual identity in printed com
munications,” said Brantley.
The university logo does not
replace the seal, which has been
restricted to more formal usage-
such as on official and legal
university documents and diplo
mas. The seahawk will continue to
be the athletic mascot.
The logo was designed by The
Graphic Spectrum in Wilmington,
and is a registered trademark of
UNCW.
