The Joe and Rika Mansueto Library: How It Works
Loading...
Uploaded by UChicago on May 10, 2011
The new Joe and Rika Mansueto Library at the University of Chicago houses cutting-edge facilities for preservation and digitization of physical books, as well as a high-density underground storage system with the capacity to hold 3.5 million volume equivalents. With its soaring elliptical dome and prime location on campus, the Mansueto Library's Grand Reading Room, which opens May 16, 2011, provides an inviting space for rigorous scholarship in an array of fields.

@cyclestring I see your concern, but remember a big part of the energy used by the cranes is offset by the naturally lit reading room (at least during the daytime) and by the underground storage which is naturally at a cool, optimal temperature for storing books.

A powered machine has to move over 100 pounds of books each time one book is requested. That seems rather wasteful.
