Workers remove old water pipes from the public restrooms that were between the ILL/Document Delivery office and the Bradshaw Room

In this photo, the exposed elevator shaft can be seen to the far right while the remains of the stairwell entrance are on the left side

The last remnants of the old circulation area are completely gone

The hardwood flooring is all that is left of the Richard Furman Room (a.k.a. the former entrance to Special Collections and Archives)

What's left of the old Special Collection office

Along with the Haynsworth Room, the Pitts Room (at the bottom of the stairs) will be mostly untouched by the renovation process

Due to the demolition of the Special Collections area, part of the third floor has already been removed

An 'aerial' view (from third floor) of the rubble that once was Special Collections and Archives

With the dropped ceiling gone, the attic above the third floor can now be seen
