With the cut of a ribbon, Doug Schumann, AM ’64, Hon. ’08, other lead donors, City of Boston dignitaries, and President Zorica Pantić officially opened the Douglas D. Schumann Library & Learning Commons on Sept. 30.
The inauguration of the space was the result, said Paula Sakey, vice president of Institutional Advancement, of high-impact donors who helped transform it into “an interdisciplinary hub that fosters collaboration and learning like no other spot on campus.”
The event marked another homecoming for Schumann, who was present a year ago when the library was dedicated and named in his honor after a $5 million lead gift.
The reading room is the traditional quiet space in the library. The rest of the library are specific rooms like my technology Sandbox or collaborative space.
