When the Elon Commitment 10-year strategic plan was produced in 2010 it envisioned a possible expansion of Carol Grotnes Belk Library that would include a relationship-rich center for student support. It would be a one-stop location for students to receive academic advising, peer tutoring, writing help, library research support or learning assistance. Joan Ruelle, dean of Belk Library, helped in developing the idea and thought of it as a learning commons.
Fast forward to fall 2018, when the Koenigsberger Learning Center opened. The 11,000-square-foot, two-story addition on the east side of Belk Library reimagined how college students study, receive tutoring, academic advising or specialized services.
