New Space for Gabelli School Under Construction
The Gabelli School of Business will have a new home in 2016. The Fordham Law School building is currently undergoing construction to create a new space for the Gabelli School at Lincoln Center. Fordham recently purchased a building directly across the street from the former law school, which will combine with the law school building to serve as the business school’s new home. The building will undergo a $70 million renovation. In addition to the Gabelli School of Business, the building will now also house the Quinn Library and a student center.
The Quinn Library will encompass three floors of the building. The first floor of the building will hold books, personal computers, study areas and a small cafe for student use. The second floor will house the reference, reserve and circulation desk. The third floor will serve as a “quiet zone” for independent studying. Linda LoSchiavo, head of the Fordham Libraries explains in a Fordham press release that the former area was too small for students and that the new space will be helpful for student success. “We’re finding that there is a lot of learning taking place outside of the classroom. Libraries in general have become integral links to the academic enterprise,” she said.
