Abstract

In April of 1984, after 6 years of planning, the Upjohn Company Corporate Technical Library officially opened its new library facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan. A fairly large corporate library of some 25,000 square feet net usable space, it expressed a bold commitment to space for printed publications at a time when the paperless office and the paperless library were being widely touted. At the same time the new facility had to provide for the electronic library: over 70 electronic workstations, a User Search Lab, a Computer Room and an Online Training Center. The planning challenges, the rationale for space usage, and some of the special features of the new library are described.
