To provide space for these and other anticipated new materials and to upgrade important infrastructure such as environmental control and fire suppression, the University Libraries have embarked on a capital campaign to renovate the Special Collections department including a beautiful new reading room. <strong>\u201cPreserving and Showcasing the Treasures of Loyola\u201d<\/strong> has a goal of raising $1.5 million for the project.
