From the Chronicle of Higher Education;
Over the weekend, Nova Southeastern University celebrated the opening of a five-story, 325,000-square-foot library with an unusual genesis: Half of the building\’s $45-million construction cost was covered by Broward County, Fla., the county in which the university is located. The building will operate both as an academic facility and as a public library.
\”To our knowledge, it is the only such facility where there\’s been a collaboration between an independent, not-for-profit university and a public body,\” said Ray Ferrero Jr., president of the university. In 1999, San Jose State University agreed with the City of San Jose to build a $177-million library serving both the campus and the city. That project, now under way, will be finished in 2003.
