A Campus Walking Tour:
Fort Lewis College Library

This original plaque, in the vestibule exiting the southwest door of the Library, lists the members of the State Board of Agriculture as of 1966.  Construction of the new library in 1965-67 (it was formerly part of Berndt Hall) marked an academic and physical shift for the college. The Library was designed to be the center of academic campus life and (until the clock tower) the physical focal point of the campus.  The stone was quarried just three miles from the campus.
