For everyone who remembers the days when ornate old buildings were ruthlessly “modernized,” things seem to have come full circle. The Cross Campus Library, designed by noted modern architect Edward Larrabee Barnes in 1971 and famously unloved, will be Gothicized in a project that will begin this summer. In the renovation plans by Hammond Beeby Rupert Ainge, CCL has been re-imagined as the catacombs of the cathedral-like Sterling Memorial Library. Its main entrance will be moved to a new pavilion near William L. Harkness Hall, and a new gathering spot and café will replace the dystopian gloom of Machine City.
