Getting Together:
Constructing the Connector, New Library & Multi-Tier Stack

Faced by the twin issues of overcrowding and aging facilities, in 1987 a major addition and renovation project was completed. Designed by architect Maris Peika for Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, Los Angeles, the New Library addition was constructed between the Honnold and the Mudd buildings, and a seven-level Multi-Tier Stack was added inside the Mudd building. These additions created the current Honnold/Mudd Library of The Claremont Colleges, a 353 foot long complex joining old and new.
