![]() After a survey of the existing beam locations, we developed a ceiling design that varied in height from 7’-8” under deep beams to create more intimate areas to 12’-6” between beams to create more spacious areas. Laptops are currently available for 3 hour loans and all day loans (Leon and Toby Cooperman Library only) 3 hour Technology is currently available on. Not only did she cheat on him and make him feel terrible for most of their marriage, but Toby's ex-wife also gets alimony from him and was the reason for his weight gain of more than 90 pounds in. Located at the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 68th Street, the entrance is on the third-floor walkway level of the East Building. In contrast to the uniform ceiling height typical of buildings of the era, our interest was to provide a range of ceiling heights. The original building was designed with a steel frame structure with deep beams in many locations resulting in limited floor-to-ceiling heights. The primary design concept developed from an interest in giving a varied and unique sense of scale to different programs and activities. A new open stair connects the two floors and also extends to a rooftop reading garden. Flexible study, reading and social spaces are dispersed throughout both floors and serve to bring together students & faculty from different academic programs in a more casual and informal environment. The sixth floor includes an education library and dedicated space for the Macaulay Honors College. The program for the seventh floor includes writing, math & science learning centers, a pre-professional advising suite, and a fixed seat presentation theater. Cooperman earned his MBA from Columbia Business School in 1967. He is the recipient of an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Hunter College and an honorary doctorate of finance from Roger Williams University. The general direction of the planning study is to relocate most of the collection to the lower basement levels in compact storage opening up the upper floors for more open, multi-functional uses. Cooperman received his undergraduate degree from Hunter College, where he has been inducted into the Hall of Fame. This project involves a planning study of the entire library and the design of the top two floors. As with many university and college libraries today, the Hunter Library is being transformed by new information technologies, new storage and retrieval systems and an expanding role to provide a multitude of new services to the college community. Hunter College Library occupies seven floors plus two basement levels of the 22 story Hunter East building on 68th Street & Lexington Avenue built in 1968.
