Among recent additions to The Chronicle‘s online database of new and renovated campus buildings is Georgia Southern University’s Zach S. Henderson Library. The $22.8-million project, by Cogdell & Mendrala Architects and Lyman Davidson Dooley Inc., expanded the library by 101,000 square feet, to a total of 236,552. It also added an automated book-retrieval system that is currently capable of storing 800,000 items—and can be expanded to hold two million.
