The project connected the Thomas & Hazel Little Building to both the Crabbe Library (1924) and the University Building (1874), the oldest building on campus. One connection is a sky lit, second-floor atrium, used as an extended-hours study area.

Thomas & Hazel Little Building includes:

• General stacks
• Information & circulation desks
• Law Library
• Special Collections and Archives
• Learning Resources Center
• Created a rejuvenated and revitalized pedestrian-friendly urban space.

Incorporating the University Building with the addition resolved the need for additional program space, and minimized the additions footprint. The program included:
 

• Restoration and Renovation of this 56,000 sf historical building
• The Historically accurate exterior restoration
• New Library space
• New Classroom space
