The new 108,000 square foot "Library of the Future" at Winona State University was designed to accommodate the new and changing technologies of the information age, enabling students to access information in all available formats and media. As patterns of study shift to more group collaboration and cross-disciplinary research, the library will be flexible and adaptive to the unknowns of the future.
