Gift honoring Chancellor Christ transforms student research

Moffitt Library has been through many changes since it opened in 1970, but it has always been central to the Berkeley experience — the library averages over a million visits annually. Revitalizing Moffitt has been a priority during Berkeley’s historic Light the Way campaign — not only because it is one of several critical upgrades to campus facilities, but because a more dynamic library helps to ensure that all undergraduates have what they need to pursue their academic and life goals at Berkeley.

The library will be transformed to become more responsive to the needs of today’s students and to honor the deep academic roots and extraordinary leadership of Chancellor Carol Christ. Thanks to a generous capstone gift from long-time Berkeley friend, alumna, and Emeritus Trustee Nadine Tang, M.S.W. ’75, the library will begin a renovation of the lower three floors, which will include the Carol T. Christ Center for Connected Learning. The reimagined library will be a place where students can dive deeply into academic work and engage fruitfully with their peers.
