Library Development: Naming Opportunities Will Enhance Library Spaces

By Jim Mulvey, Library Development

The renovations taking place in the D. H. Hill Library's East Wing are addressing critical space and seating shortages as well as providing a spectacular new exhibition gallery, Special Collections Reading Room, and Learning Commons where students can work in a technology-rich space conducive to use the library's rapidly expanding digital collections.

Naming opportunities associated with the renovated spaces are available for those interested in supporting the fund-raising efforts with a gift that may be pledged over three years. Donors will receive permanent name recognition for themselves or in memory or honor of a loved one. A full list of the naming opportunities can be found at URL link www.lib.ncsu.edu/renovation/namingOp/.
