| 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. | ||
