The D-level volumes are now ready to be returned slowly.
The rest of the stack renovation will require constant shelving and reshelving on all 10 levels of the Widener stacks.
"Logistically, it is a very complicated project," Zewinksi says.
When stack renovation is complete, the project can turn to Phase II--renovating the North Bar, the side of Widener that faces Tercentenary Theater. This portion of the project is estimated to cost $20 million.
The North Bar work will relocate the Periodical Reading Room to the first floor from the Loker Reading Room and make available two extra reading rooms.
Zewinski projectsthat the entire Widener renovation project will be completed in the next two years.
