Westwood : Library Construction Begins
UCLA has begun construction of a new library to provide storage for 3.5 million books on campus near Veteran and Gayley avenues.
The new Southern Regional Library Facility is being built as part of the first phase of a state-funded project to provide additional shelving space for less frequently used books from libraries throughout Southern California, officials said.
Primary users will be five University of California campuses in Southern California, but storage also will be available to other institutions of higher education and public libraries, they said.
