The Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Library is the focal point of the University of Guam. The brand new library building was completed in March, 1992, and formally dedicated on October 7, 1993. The additional wing and renovation area cost a total of $7,302,880. When the renovation was underway, most collections, services, offices, and personnel were transferred into the new addition. The new addition is designed primarily for stacks and public reading areas, and also houses the Curriculum Resources Center, microform collections, small conference rooms, the computer room, and library faculty offices. The renovated area is allocated to the administrative offices, circulation, the Instructional Media Department, multimedia classrooms, the language listening lab, the online access catalog, government documents, the reserve collection, serials, technical processing offices, the public typing/word processing room, and a 24-hour study room. The library building, which won a design award, was harmoniously designed with the two adjacent buildings; its structure has sustained a typhoon and an earthquake. (AEF)
