In 1939, when
Norlin opened, the campus student population was 4,500 FTE. By 1962 that had grown to 12,250. Consequently a major addition happened in
the early 1960s. Two massive wings—one
on either side of the building--were installed that nearly doubled the space
within Norlin. The total floor space
nearly doubles, study space about triples, and bookstacks space increases by
about 75%. So where the 1939 building
had focused on materials storage, this renovation was about student study
space.
