July 26 Weenie bins into gothic vaults!CCL is an underground library (the nice green grass photo is taken above ground where CCL lies). It's where lots of Yale undergrads studied studied studied (I never really used it all that much except to check out books...and look up words in the Persian-English dictionary they had in the reference section. Lots of hours doing that during the year I took Persian.)
The Yale alumni magazine reports:
"It's hard to find someone who will shed a tear for the passing of CCL--the Cross Campus Library--as we knew it. Famous as much for its leaky roof as for its sterile off-white decor ("weenie bins" were flourescent-lit cubicles for hard-core studying), the space will be unrecognizable after a year-long renovation to fix the leaks and recast the space in the Gothic tradition of its parent, Sterling Memorial Library" (pg. 15 of the July/Aug issue).
I found some info on the whole project here: http://www.library.yale.edu/renovaxn/phase2a/ and have posted the pictures that seem to be relevant. I find the architectual plans to be somewhat mysterious. The "lounge" may very well be a "cafe". |
