Wegner Library Renovation
In 2018, the Wegner Library Board of Directors approved a substantial renovation of the Wegner Library. Features of the renovation include:
• A new classroom:
The Mary D. Nettleman M.D., M.S., M.A.C.P. classroom will provide USD Sanford
School of Medicine faculty and students with a large classroom for both
lectures and collaborative learning. The classroom will serve as a study or
event space when not in use for classes.
• Traditional and contemporary study areas throughout the building, which
include new furniture.
• A welcoming and user-friendly information and research help desk.
• Lockers available for checkout
• A treadmill desk
The open, light, and inviting character of the building was retained while replacing the book stacks with a classroom and introducing a vestibule that will soften the sound of students entering and exiting the library for classes. The renovation includes high-density mobile stacks that are located in the basement of the Health Sciences Center. High-use items and collections will remain in the library. The library’s permanent collection of books and journals in storage are available to students and faculty upon request.
