![Fourth Floor<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nBuilding Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Libraries at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee supports a modern, metropolitan university in its unique urban mission and program emphasis. Located in the heart of the campus in a single, centralized facility, the library maintains extended hours of access to serve UWM students, faculty, and researchers as well as members of the larger metropolitan community; a total of nearly two million visitors annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe building (the physical building is called the Golda Meir Library) was constructed in three stages. Stage I was completed in 1967, Stage II was completed in 1974, and Stage III in 1987. Current library space is 379,000 square feet (approximately nine acres), which includes 2,440 student stations and 209 faculty carrels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nRestrooms are located in the Daniel M. Soref Learning Commons; off the main stairwell on the Lower Level, Second Floor, and Third Floor of the West Wing; on the First, Second, and Third Floors of the East Wing; and on the Fourth Floor. Gender inclusive restrooms are located on the Third Floor in the West Wing. See UWM Gender Inclusive Restrooms<\/a> for more information.<\/li>\n\n\n\nThe Lower Level<\/strong> is in both the East and West building sections, connected by a tunnel. Located in the Lower Level, West Wing is the Microforms Area, a large study area, 4 workstations, scanner (printer) and Compact Shelving West (an area filled with high-density mobile shelving having call numbers A through P). The Lower Level, East Wing is home to call numbers S through Z and Compact Shelving East (an area filled with high-density mobile shelving having call numbers Q through Z) and is accessible only from the Lower Level West Wing via the tunnel.<\/li>\n\n\n\nThe First Floor<\/strong> has two sections. The First Floor, East Wing features a Study Area. The First Floor, West Wing contains the Daniel M. Soref Learning Commons<\/a>. The Grind, located in the Daniel M. Soref Learning Commons, serves Colectivo coffee drinks, teas, juices, and bakery items. Also located in the West Wing are a large campus computer lab, Borrowing Serivces<\/a>, Interlibrary Loan<\/a>, User Services<\/a> (including Government Information<\/a> and the Reference Collection), Library Administrative Offices, and Personnel.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nThe Second Floor<\/strong> consists of the East Wing and the West Wing connected by a bridge. In the Second Floor, East Wing are the Curriculum Collection (materials in the Curriculum Collection are cataloged\/classified using the Dewey Decimal system), the Music Collection (which includes call number M of the main library collection), and the Digital Humanities<\/a>. Also included are Technical Services and the Library Business Office. The Second Floor, West Wing is home to call numbers N, Q through R, and J through L.<\/li>\n\n\n\nThe Third Floor<\/strong> is in both the East and West building sections, connected by a bridge. The West Wing houses the Archives<\/a> and general stacks call numbers A through H, and P. The East Wing is occupied by the American Geographical Society Library<\/a>. Please note, all AGSL circulating materials are shelved on the lower level in compact shelving West.<\/li>\n\n\n\nOn the Fourth Floor<\/strong> are found the Special Collections<\/a> area and the Library Conference Center. Down the main hallway of the Fourth Floor are a series of display cases, filled with continually changing displays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nTours<\/h2>\n\n\n\nBuilding tours are available to the general public upon request<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Floorplans of the Golda Meir Library Note: Floorplans are PNG files.
