Architects for the 1987 project were McCarty Bullock Holsaple, Lindsay &amp; Maples, and Cooper &amp; Perry. Rentenbach Engineering Company was construction contractor. The new expansion essentially wrapped around the core of the older building and more than tripled the library\u2019s square footage. A central, lofty galleria and sweeping stairways link the Volunteer Boulevard entrance on the ground floor and the Melrose Avenue entrance on the second floor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The John C.
