The Ingram Library is about to undergo a 12-month, $8 million construction project that will renovate two floors and recreate the state capitol office of Georgia House Speaker Thomas B. Murphy.

Built in 1968, the Ingram Library will begin its facelift the first week of March. For more than a year, the library staff and student assistants have been preparing for the demolition and construction. Dozens of shelves have been emptied and hundreds of books have been “shifted” to other areas under the supervision of Stacks Manager Margot Davis.
