Cushing Library in spring 1995. The Cushing Library opened in 1930 as the first library on cam pus and is now connected to the Sterling C. Evans Library. Designed by Texas architect C.S.P. Vosper, it was consid ered one of the nicest buildings on the campus. David Chapman, Texas A&M archivist, said A&M expanded faster than planned, making a new library necessary to accom modate the campus’ growth. “By the late 1960s, the cam pus had outgrown Cushing,” he said. “It became merely an ap pendage of the larger Sterling C. Evans Library.” For the next few years the building served a variety of pur poses, including housing the office of the dean of education. Time and numerous remod eling attempts took their toll on the building. The roof leaked and the walls were cracking. The air conditioning system, in stalled in the 60s, became in creasingly unreliable. The Cushing Library will un dergo renovations to protect the collections housed in the building. Chapman said the material in the Cushing Library is being moved to make room for reno vations. Archives that have been in the Cushing Library for 20 years are now in room 210 of the Evans Library. “Most heavy items will be put in various places in Evans Li brary,” Chapman said. “The re mainder of the material will be moved into the old Texas Instru ments building where we have temporary use of space.” The University plans to start renovations on Cushing this April. “The tentative plans are to re store the Library back to the grandeur of its original construc tion in the 1930s,” he said. Concrete floors will be put in where there are currently me stacks. This will triple the cont capabilities of the building. Dr. Charles Schultz, Cleme archivist, said that by April li part of the renovated build should be completed. “There are now eight lev of stacks that will become fi floors of compact motori shelving,” he said. “By A 1996, two of the four floors planned to be completed.” Chapman said when the vations are done, material will moved back into-the building. Special collections, mai scripts and archives will be c< bined into one large division f moved back into Cushing unit, he said. Schultz said Cushing will house offices and research Dr. Fred Heath, dean and rector of Evans Library, said renovation of the Cushing Libr provides a welcome opportur to restore an edifice of great: torical significance here at Te A&M.
