University of Kansas Library Annex
1880 Westbrooke Drive
Lawrence, Kansas
Project Architect: Peckham Guyton Albers & Viets, Inc.
The KU Library Annex is a high-density storage facility located on the west campus at the University of Kansas.
The project consists of 7000 square feet of a low bay receiving and processing area, and a 9000 square foot high
bay storage module which will house approximately 1.6 million volumes.
The building walls are precast concrete with sandblast and brick accents. The floor of the storage module is a
structural slab with a "super-flat" finish. The flat slab is required to allow for retrieval from the 37 foot
high storage racks. The storage module is conditioned at a constant 50° with 30% humidity to provide an ideal
archival storage environment.
