• Reimagining Shields, Part 2 — Proposals for a new north entry and renovated courtyard, from design students. Mark Kessler, assistant professor, had asked them to consider ways to better connect the library and the Quad “as the heart of the American campus.” Kessler blamed “missteps in design” for leaving the campus with the library and Quad adjacent “but unresponsive to one another” — i.e., with its west-facing entrance, Shields Library “turns its back on the Quad.” Said Daniel Goldstein, Arts and Humanities librarian: “Come see how this talented group of students imagined a redesigned Peter J. Shields and let us know what you think.” Send questions or comments to Goldstein, dgoldstein@ucdavis.edu.
