How many books, periodicals, and other materials will be housed in the Joe and Rika Mansueto Library?
The automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) in the Joe and Rika Mansueto Library has the capacity to house up to 3.5 million volumes and will provide collection growth space through 2029. Two thirds of that space will be devoted to bins that will contain standard size bound journals and books. One third will be devoted to shelf racks that will store oversize books (elephant folios) and special collections materials in archival storage boxes.
