Belk Library Construction, 1979, photo 1

This image shows the construction of the extension for first Belk Library at Appalachian State University (1967-current) in March 1979. Construction materials can be seen on the field in the foreground, and Varsity Gym, built 1968, and Rankin Science Hall, built 1963, can be seen in the background on the left. The Belk Library was completed in 1968 and opened in 1969. It served as the main campus library until 2005, when it was replaced by the newly constructed Belk Library and Information Commons. It was then known as the Library Classroom Building and in 2009 was rededicated as Anne Belk Hall.
