<p>In 1967, an extension of <a href="Sterling_Memorial_Library" title="Sterling Memorial Library">Sterling Memorial Library</a> was proposed to expand the library's space for collections.<sup id="cite_ref-YDN67_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-YDN67-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Though originally proposed to house the library's East Asian collection and Yale memorabilia, librarians decided instead to utilize the new space to improve access to frequently-used materials and reserve books.<sup id="cite_ref-YDN67_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-YDN67-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Alden_Branch_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Alden_Branch-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> So as not to interrupt the view of the Sterling facade from the east, the library would be constructed beneath the lawn of Cross Campus, the central axis of Yale's campus. To allow for sufficient light underground, architect <a href="Edward_Larrabee_Barnes" title="Edward Larrabee Barnes">Edward Larrabee Barnes</a> proposed to sink sixteen skylights into the Cross Campus lawn. When the design was made public in 1968, Yale students and faculty, including <a href="Vincent_Scully" title="Vincent Scully">Vincent Scully</a>, protested that the skylights would obstruct the lawn's open space, and students physically blocked early construction activities.<sup id="cite_ref-Alden_Branch_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Alden_Branch-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Barnes and the university withdrew the original design and instead configured a lighting scheme with four large entrance light wells at the corners of Cross Campus.<sup id="cite_ref-Nath_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Nath-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Anderson_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Anderson-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The new library, opened in January 1971 at a cost of $4 million, housed 300,000 volumes and remained open 24 hours a day.<sup id="cite_ref-Anderson_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Anderson-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
