The Regenstein Reconfiguration Project has been a
multi-year effort to renovate and reinvigorate the Joseph
Regenstein Library at the University of Chicago. The Regenstein,
with a current capacity of 5.0 million volumes, is the largest
facility in the University Library and serves all of the Humanities
and Social Sciences. The Reconfiguration Project has sought to
provide additional storage for books and journals, to make possible
research that integrates digital resources and technologies and
traditional paper-based media, to allow for the efficient and
effective use of Library staff, and to upgrade and replace vital
building infrastructure.
The first phase of the Regenstein Reconfiguration Project comprised
the installation of compact shelving to alleviate the severe
collection overcrowding, the renovation of the building lobby, the
reconfiguration and relocation of the Access Services Division, and
all associated upgrades to electrical, mechanical and networked
data systems.
