Construction workers furiously
sawed unfinished fijrniture andham-mered
the last ofthe light fixtures this
weekin a rush to complete thenew ad-dition
of the Dimenna-Nyselius Library
for this Monday, February 19.
The new portion ofthe library will
open for use at the same time the cur-rently
operating portion will close for
renovations.
The purpose ofthe construction is
not only to increase the size and style of
the library,but also to change the focus
ofcampus. The University has inten-tionallymade
the library the most well
lit structure on campus to make it the
center ofattention.
"It is abeacon," saysVice President
for Information Services andUniversity
LibrarianJamesEstrada. Therewas an
intention to make that beaconvisible."

Fairfield Universitywas denied a
Certificate ofOccupancy for Feb. 6,
whichwould have given the school per-mission
to open the new structure. The
smoke evacuation needed to be com-pleted
and the sprinkler system needed
more testing. The school still needs to
obtain the Certificate ofOccupancy to
open nextweekbutEstrada saidhe did
not expect anyproblems.
Anxietyis buildingamongstudents
andfacultywhohavebeen enduringthe
arduous construction process whichbe-gan
over the summerof2000. The new
portionwas supposedtohavebeen open
for the two weeks offinals before win-terbreakin
December.
"If s takingwaytoo long," says Jun-iorJames
Testa. "It's a mess. It's made
itmuchmore difficult for people towalk
in that area. And the inside ofthe li-brary
looks awful right now."
Some other students do not feel in-convenienced
by the construction. "I
don't think it's annoying," says Chris
Cronin'03. "They've done a goodjob
keeping everything available while the
construction has gone on. Whenitsfin-ished,
it's going to be a beneficial addi-tion
to the school."
Estrada sympathizeswiththe prob-lems
the delay in constructionmayhave
caused. "We assume there's a decline
in attendance because there is a decline
in circulation," said Estrada. "People
who need absolute quiet to study have
been affected. Wetried to put up barri-ers
so students can'thearthe steel pound-ing."
The staffofthe library is also im-pacted
by the elements ofconstruction.
