ACES LIBRARY Information & Alumni Center By 1924, the library's collection had grown its space and was relocated to 22 Mumford Hall. Although the location w intended to be temporary, the library remained in those quarters until the completion of the new Library, Information and Alumni Center in fall 2001. During the 75 intervening years, the library absorbed the holdings of numerous office collections, most notably animal genetics,floriculture,forestry, agricultural engineering, agricultural economics, agronomy, and vocational agriculture science. The Home Economics Library opened in 1955, although the collection did not come together officially until 1957, when the construction of Bevier Hall was completed. Before the creation of the library, the divisions of the Department of Home Economics acquired individual collections of books, pamphlets, and journals. Those collections, purchased through equipment funds, were housed in the 29 different laboratories and offices of the home economics faculty. These materials, in addition to all home economics materials in the Undergraduate Library, were transferred to the new departmental library in Bevier Hall. When the college underwent a reorganization in 1995, becoming the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, the home economics library was closed. Today, the College of ACES library occupies the top four floors of the new ACES Library, Information and Alumni Center. It is a state-of-the-art facility, with online resources, compressed stacks, study carrels, and group study rooms. The building and its resources are a priceless asset—the jewel of the ACES campus.
