UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS, BRISTER LIBRARY RENOVATION MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE This project consists of more than 180,000 square feet of renovated space in four adjacent buildings, which formerly served as the University's main library.  The program called for the largest of the buildings, a twelve-story tower, to become the new "Front Door" to the campus. During programming analysis the decision was made to make this group of buildings the "focal point" of the entire campus.  All University student services, scattered across the campus, were relocated within the four existing library buildings, most effectively using the available space. The exterior site work around the library is an inviting series of walks, lighting, and landscaping.  The renovation to the tower façade emphasizes the building’s significance when arriving on campus. The project was completed in the summer of 2002.
