Abstract
This proposal is to provide facts and general opinions about the need for a new library on Drexel University’s campus. The purpose of this new library would be to make the campus a better place to work and live. The information in this proposal is concrete and precise so it will allow President Clifford Keevan to have a solid understanding of the benefits of approving this major project. This proposal also discusses the consequences of keeping the current library without any major renovations, and how this will continue to affect Drexel’s student life and overall image. The major topics in the report that will be covered are the general renovation of the current library’s facilities, expansion of academic materials, creation of developmental programs for students, and the fostering of a more welcoming atmosphere for student organizations. The current Hagerty Library has been open for over 25 years now, and is an eyesore for current and prospecting students. Having an attractive campus is a key factor in appealing to new students; and this all starts with our library. In conclusion, with Drexel’s current ambitions and future goals, this new library should be nothing short of the best.
