Tateuchi East Asia Library Renovation
Libraries services and users have changed in the 50 years since the Tateuchi East Asia Library moved into Gowen Hall. While retaining the traditional architectural setting, our renovation plans will add more spaces for quiet study, collaborative research, public presentations, and in-demand services to help students succeed. A stunning virtual-walkthrough of the architectural renderings reflect planned renovations to improve the student experience. To learn how you can help, contact Sheryl Stiefel, (sstiefel@uw.edu | 206-685-1973) Assistant Dean for Libraries Advancement.
