They're upgrading the lighting systems in the UIUC library bookstacks.
I'm kinda glad that I only had my phone camera on me.
Designed by Foster and Partners, the Queen Elizabeth II Great Court transformed the Museum’s inner courtyard into the largest covered public square in Europe. It is a two-acre space enclosed by a spectacular glass roof with the world-famous Reading Room at its centre.
In the original Robert Smirke design the courtyard was meant to be a garden. However, in 1852–7 the Reading Room and a number of bookstacks were built in the courtyard to house the library department of the Museum and the space was lost.
In 1997, the Museum’s library department was relocated to the new British Library building in St Pancras and there was an opportunity to re-open the space to public.
An architectural competition was launched to re-design the courtyard space. There were over 130 entries and it was eventually won by Lord Foster.
The competition brief had three aims:
1) Revealing hidden spaces
2) Revising old spaces
3) Creating new spaces
4) The £100 million project was supported by grants of £30 million from the Millennium Commission and £15.75 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The Great Court was opened on 6 December 2000 by Her Majesty the Queen.

Browsing at Pius is a little like wandering a forest. An orderly, pale blue, blonde wood, chrome, and white forest designed in 1959.
Classically inspired metal stacks -- a style popular in libraries built from 1900-1925 -- still serve their original purpose in Bisbee.

These pix are a partial (90%) inventory of the books I have accumulated. 75% of them I have not read, and I suspect that I will never live long enough to read them all.
I took these photos so i could start typing up a quick author/title inventory, find duplicates, and hopefully prevent further duplicates from accumulating.
