From January to April 1982, an ad hoc planning committee reviewed the planning documents; the committee submitted a tentative report in mid-April in which it recommended an addition with a minimum capacity of 750,000 volumes and 1,000 to 3,000 seats.
On October 1, 1990, the current library was completed with the addition of the 11-story (numbered B,G,1-9) Bookstack South Tower, adding space for another 500,000 volumes.
