  14. GSB-South Building • Question: Does it make sense to relocate all programs and staff in Meyer Library to the soon-to-be vacated Business School building, GSB-South? • General fit? = yes, all of it probably can fit • More specific design and cost = study in process (due in May) • NOT A DONE DEAL. School of Ed also doing an assessment of fit • Decision in 6 months or so. The game is afoot. Technical Services Meeting

  15. GSB-South Building • Meyer programs to fit: • East Asia Library and its collections (Meyer 4 and mezzanine) • Technical Service operations on Meyer 3 • ESP (including Systems Team) from Meyer 3 • DLSS (most of it) from Meyer 1, 2 & 3 • Academic Computing Services from Meyer 1 & 2 Technical Services Meeting
