BNIM is currently completing a programming and feasibility study for the Robert E. Kennedy Library, a five-story Brutalist structure originally constructed in 1980. The renovation and addition will repair degrading infrastructure, accommodate current and future technology, increase energy and water conservation, and enhance overall functionality and flexibility for the 21st-century student experience. The programming process revealed opportunities to consolidate spaces for books, reorganize an indiscriminate network of study rooms, and provide open areas for interaction, all of which allow for future flexibility as needs continue to evolve. The project aims to re-imagine the library toward its 2015–2022 Strategic Plan — as a place where expertise, scholarly content, and technology come together in an experiential and high-performance learning environment.
