Campus Development
Campus Development
Maps, Susquehanna University, Campus plans
While in the midst of great change, Susquehanna continued to chart further progress. As new buildings were constructed and existing structures were renovated, future campus developments were envisioned. Some of these ideas were implemented and others were modified in the future. For example, in the 1979 plan, the University Library is shown in the area now occupied by Apfelbaum Hall. However, funds were raised to expand the existing library rather than moving it to a new location.
