Monmouth College’s Hewes Library put on a new face in the form of 32 new windows and an eastside entrance during its recent $7 million renovation. The project, which also included a complete renovation of the building's interior, has resulted in a facility that's "second to none" among Monmouth's peer institutions, said President Richard Giese.

A major thrust of the project was to make Hewes Library, which was constructed in 1970, more accessible to technology and the advanced learning tools that go with it. The role of library's has evolved in the past three decades, and the redesign will establish Hewes Library as the academic heart of the campus.

The renovated facility will simultaneously function as a library, gallery, museum, cafe and technology center, while reflecting the many facets of study in a true liberal arts curriculum.
