The Joseph Regenstein Library is launching a $42 million expansion and the University of Chicago will have a new claim to fame: the largest research library under a single roof in North America, university officials say.
When completed in June 2009, Regenstein’s collection will total about 8 million volumes in one space. The total university collection will exceed 11 million.
