I am a design major at Michigan, I'm currently in an independent study developing (redesigning) a map for Hatcher. It is a daunting and confusing task, hopefully the University will pay for printing so that one day students may find their way through the labyrinth.

Fun video...I worked at the library for four years and I think I finally mastered the floor plan

That makes sense. I've seen similar systems in other libraries. The part that really worries me is those glass floor panels in some areas. I can already sense that the library was built for people of average heights from maybe the 1900s or 1930s. (I sense this directly with forehead versus doorway.) If the floors were built to support the kind of average weights of Michiganders in the 1900s or 30s, then I'm a crashing News of the Weird story waiting to happen.

The bookcases really 'were' built to be several stories high with only platforms for walking... this makes climate control easier in a stack environment. Books hate changes in temperature and humidity. The more you know. Great video!

Funny ^_^ I like how you were attacked at the end.

5 Stars man. I go to this library to study at least three times a week and I never noticed some of the things you mentioned here (the six story bookcases for example).

this is quite excellent glad I finally had a chance to watch it. I never would have had the guts to film in there.

LOL what a nightmare that building is. I think that I had nightmares about places like this.
